An evening in China Town

Dàjiā hăo 大家好 Hello everyone

China can seem a distant place with an undecipherable language, deeply different culture and confronting food. Our evening in a restaurant in Gerrard Street upset one or two of these notions through excellent food, friendly service, traditional Chinese paper folding and some additional magic.

I did not come equipped to write up the evening, so the picture of the restaurant is reproduced by kind permission of Ollie Toogood of The Local Data Company – thanks! I must also squirm about my own poor photos, which were all courtesy of a Blackberry.

In Memoriam: William [Bill] Wiseman Huss

The few years that I knew Bill, will always be treasured, because being linked to him always seemed to initiate a need, or to evoke a desire to resolve some sort of social issue or public matter - that seemed to have become a ‘road block’ to the efficacy of the State - or just plain unfair and a burden on the populace.
