Welcome

This is a blog about culture, food, travel and language learning in Southwest China. I'll aim to publish Mondays and Thursdays, mostly short pieces on things that take my interest. I hope they'll be of interest to you, too.

Upcoming pieces include:

• Hunting down Nuodeng ham in the mountains of Yunnan
• Chinese onomatopoeia
• Best practice for learning Mandarin
• Cooking lessons at the Sichuan Higher Institute of Cuisine
• Where and what to eat in Chengdu
• The glories and tragedies of Chinese e-commerce

See you soon.
