Yeah! Scandalously biased refereeing and partisan spectators couldn’t save Tyson this time.

I stumbled on your blog looking for something to read just in time for your big China journey. I count myself lucky to have stumbled your way. Your writing is fabulous and I feel like I am traveling alongside.

Hi Dan, your blog entry about Fenghuang really took me back. I travelled there in 2002 and loved it. Did you happen to go to the temple with the fun house mirrors? It was just down the street on the left as you left the old city section. It was a nice peaceful temple with the usual statues of gods and food offerings, but off to one side there was a crumbling concrete building and when we walked in we realized that all of the walls were lined with old fun house mirrors. We examined ourselves in all the mirrors and revelled in the absurdity of the situation. One of my more surreal momemts in China. We taught in Changsha for two years and took the Fenghuang trip late in the second year. We really wished that we had ventured off into the Hunan countryside more instead of sticking to guidebook towns. Oh well maybe next time. Thanks again for the great post.

Dear Dan,
Thanks for your photos. My great-great aunt was a missionary there in the early twentieth century. You’ve given me a glimpse of her world. Cheers!

I spent the last couple years in western Hunan, about 2.5 hours from Jishou, I miss that place.
