Want to buy a jar of honey? >>>
​
These are small jars. I've seen at least ten different street vendors selling these. They are sold like a snack. Just enough to fill you up, like an ice cream cone. I've never seen this in any other city.
<<< It seems that the Chinese are more into "cutesy" than are Americans.
Finally "organized"
​
My room is about as orangized as it's going to get. The one thing this hotel room does not have is a place to hang clothes. So I've just laid them out on the extra bed.
Two great books I'm reading now
​
The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain by Annie Murphy Paul
​
This a super book. Many non-fiction books that I read are a 99% refresher course for me. This one is only about 80% refresher. I'm learning some new and valuable stuff. One of the interesting, although maybe not valuable things I learned is why evolution designed us humans to fall so easily into the toxic confirmation bias.
​
A Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons by Robert Sapolsky
​
Although this is autobiographical, I'm reading it more for entertainment value, like I would read a novel. Robert's a great storyteller, detailing his living with a troop of baboons as well as his adventures and misadventures with the African peoples.
​
Giving up on getting a refrigerator or cooler
​
Originally, I thought a refrigerator was a must-have for my 23-day holiday. But how many people have successfully lived and died in the world without a refrigerator? Even my assistant Heidi, up until a year or so ago was able to do okay without a refrigerator and still cook well for herself. I just need to shop every day and be careful not to buy so much at one time in order to avoid spoilage. I can make that adjustment.
