Cute Japanese waitresses, no trays to carry, service, good food, and those beautiful, heart-melting smiles of Japanese angels in waitress garb. A visit to the snack bar to drown ourselves in milk. True it is recombined from milk solids etc. but it tasted genuine and so we drank, plain, chocolate, in sodas, sundaes, milk-shakes and any other way possible. From there a quick bit of processing and we were free as birds. Into Fukuoka to see the sites. Shopped with our eyes -- being too poor to shop otherwise: Bob was broke and I split a hundred with him whereas most guys go on R&R with $150 each or thereabouts. We wandered around fighting off (verbally) the pimp boys and hotel-sellers. Then finally we got a hotel room and, leaving our equipment there, we went to a caberet to dance, listen to music, enjoy friendly company and relax. At 11 :30, feeling quite content and slightly convivial, Bob and I bade farewell our attractive little hostesses, and returned to our hotel rooms to enjoy a sleep on nice soft beds.

Books that I have read about China include Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian, who is the first Chinese recipient of the Nobel prize for literature and whose book describes a physical and a spiritual journey.In the pages of the above book, I have an article about another book, which I haven't read but sounds incredible. It's titled Sky Burial and it's about a Chinese writer's journey in Tibet, offering a unique perspective to Americans.On a more whimsical note, but still with a slice of history, is Balzac and the Chinese seamstress, about two cities boys who are sent into the country to be "re-educated" during the Cutural Revolution and who read European classics secretly to a seamstress (it's not Asia, but kind of reminds me of reading Lolita in Tehran, another great book).I've also read The Good Earth, which was a really beautiful book, almost Tolstoyan in its scope of a man's life. I don't know enough about Chinese history to say how accurate or authentic a representation this is from this missionary daughter. I would be curious to know what Chinese people think about this book. From my perspective it was very impressive for the knowledge and love the author seems to have for the country.[Edit by="zskalkottas on Jan 31, 6:34:28 PM"][/Edit] 2ff7e9595c
