I Paid to See China’s “Last Primitive Tribe.” Then I Walked Into the Backstage.
At the village gate, speakers played drumbeats, flute, and bird calls. The synth was obvious. Ox skulls hung on totem poles. Fake vines wrapped around them. Staff wore ethnic-style jackets with YKK zippers. The guide raised a little flag and said we were about to see China’s last primitive tribe.

The Ruins We Name: Why Only Financial Centers Become “Ruins”
On Queen’s Road Central, a brokerage has a “For Rent” sign by the door. Inside, the reception computer is still on. The screensaver is the company logo. The security guard says last month people worked until two in the morning. This month the lights go off at six. Downstairs, the woman who runs the tea restaurant has changed “Today’s Soup” to “Today’s Special.” She does not follow IPOs. She only knows the fish-ball noodles are selling slower.

More on my trip to Miami!
another mural I saw while in Little Havana was that of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. I love Little Havana! It makes me think that once Cuba is free again, it’s a taste of freedom that will be restored in Havana as well as the rest of the island. You can’t beat Bacardi Rum. I saw a mural if Bacardi Rum. The liquor was invented in Santiago de Cuba. My visit to Miami Florida, Little Havana as well as other places in Little Havana and importantly Willy was everything I dreamed it would be and much much more than ever I could have imagined.

Nemuro: The Japanese Port Living in the Shadow of a Disputed Past
On a clear morning in Nemuro, the disputed islands can appear faintly beyond the water. The view is part of everyday life in this remote fishing town at the eastern edge of Hokkaido. Nemuro has about 22,000 residents, roughly half the population it had at its peak in the 1960s. Its winters are long and cold. Red spiny king crabs are stacked around the harbor. Fading signs in Japanese, Russian and English hang near the docks. On some days, when the air is clear, the islands claimed by both Japan and Russia can be seen in the distance.
