you're right, although the exact location is not often the main problem for those detained unconstitutionally.

 

no contest. between good, cheap, accessible food, free and culturally accepted camping, beautiful landscapes and vistas, bidets and most of all, public BATHS, Japan wins.

If you are a backpacker, you'll love Japan.

If you want to try backpacking for the first time, there's no easier onboard than Japan.

you can probably get all the way to Cuba soon with that strategy.

that's exactly how it works. import companies are currently cancelling all the orders from China and other countries currently en route and Americans are going to pay a lot more for whatever imported stock is left within the country and then there won't be anything from other countries in the US after a week or two: produce, meat, electronics, TP and so on.

I say "US Americans" to differentiate while traveling, works well.

easy to say, easy to understand.

correct.

there's also the maybe more important scientific literature ban that is forcing scientists like those who make sure crops grow correctly in the US out of their jobs because they aren't able to talk about the gender of the seeds they are breeding.

or the physicists who can't talk about the "status" of the material they're using, because that word is banned.

countries don't want to buy American military equipment anymore because they rightly cannot trust the US, which is a huge loss of revenue.

the disastrous policies already enacted are going to economically and socially hobble the country for decades.

the scientist who goes to another country rather than the US to practice physics, agriculture, anthropology, anything, that's an entire career of innovation and scientific benefit lost to the US.

and those scientists are already avoiding the us, that's already happening.

the market numbers are the tip of the iceberg here.

A classroom assistant at the school i worked at. very hard-working, curious and funny guy who likes to learn things all the time, so we exchanged Chinese and English and hung out all the time for barbecue and hotpot and all that good stuff.

still friends more than a decade later even though I travel a lot; we got to meet up a few times when I visited Beijing last year and we still talk occasionally on wechat.

thank you. I checked out the article, and that is really buried.

I see, yeah, the 10-year anniversary of the 2008 scandal.

good article, I'm curious what the numbers are 7 years later.

it looks like in 2018 80 to 90% of Australian baby formula was exported to China!

I found a PDF explaining the specific domestic and local market share, so even after the scandal in 2008 about half of the baby formula in China was produced and bought domestically.

of course even half of the market is a huge amount of baby formula in real life considering the population of China.

the market research data only goes up to 2017

Between podcast episodes, I'll share some general travel information.

 

The joke was always right there.

While A Tribe Called Quest may not have been talking directly to you, or about traveling, they still got it right.

If you are wondering if you can travel, the answer is overwhelmingly yes.  Hundreds of people who have never traveled before have asked me from all walks of life, at all ages, in any number of circumstances and my answer after hearing about their lives, has always been yes, they can travel.

solved, thank you! I hid read posts.

Checked that option again, and there it was.

I made a new account, community and post today at !bitofarambler@crazypeople.online and when I'm logged in I cannot see my post in the community, but when I am not logged in I can see my post.

why is this happening?

thank you.

 

My favorite foods living in China.  I tried to think of one favorite food and came up with 15 immediately, so there'll be a few episodes of favorites.

啤酒烤鸭(Beer-fried duck), 西红柿鸡蛋面(tomato egg noodle soup), 红烧牛肉(soy-braised beef), 麻辣蒜薹腊肉(numbspicy garlic scapes with Chinese bacon) and my favorite Chinese sandwich, or, one of only two anyway(teaser) - 驴肉火烧(donkey jalapeno panini).

Have you been to China or enjoy Chinese food? What Chinese foods do you like?
