As a French lady, Christine’s learning experience has not been without disappointments, such as being overcharged, given old veggies or pushed to buy more. Nonetheless, in Hong Kong, most sellers are generally very kind. Like in France, vendors remember the preferences of their regular clients. _e kindness of many sellers help her overcome the fear of speaking Cantonese. They even take time to explain to her how to cook this and that. It is the warm atmosphere that she loves most. Christine finds it exciting to discover lots of new foodstuffs such as Chinese yam. She even discovers ingredients, such as lye water, a kind of alkaline solution that is not used in Western countries.

Do they always have meals that last for ages? Do all French people have a wine cellar full of good bottles? … and a lot more. Be it foreigners or Chinese people, everybody can explore the wet markets and learn to appreciate their atmosphere and benefits.

Book excerpt: Based on health and wellness coaching techniques, this book equips the readers with new tools to start a new journey towards behavioural change, when they cannot seem to achieve their desired goals by themselves. What is to be expected from a finance executive who left his promising career to pursue his dream in functional health gastronomy? Using informal, carefree, and humorous language, this book deciphers lessons contained in lengthy academic treatises for non-professionals, helping readers to transform their eating habits effectively and safely and, more appealingly, without need to resort to several types of specialists. The author helps readers to understand key concepts of health and wellness with commonplace metaphors like chaotic traffic, comparisons to the human body, or a company going bankrupt, using vocabulary of the finance and corporate world. Thus readers end up running their own diagnostic, naturally arriving at reasonable conclusions about their life phase and which steps to take in order to achieve wellness. Let us toast to health. But no gluten and no lactose. Please!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! “Smart and funny…warm and rewarding.” —Booklist (starred review) “A compelling and quirky tale of love and negotiating early adulthood in New York City.” —School Library Journal From the New York Times bestselling author of Emergency Contact, which Rainbow Rowell called “smart and funny,” comes a “captivating” (The New York Times) romance about how social media influences relationships every day. On paper, college dropout Pablo Rind doesn’t have a whole lot going for him. His graveyard shift at a twenty-four-hour deli in Brooklyn is a struggle. Plus, he’s up to his eyeballs in credit card debt. Never mind the state of his student loans. Pop juggernaut Leanna Smart has enough social media followers to populate whole continents. The brand is unstoppable. She graduated from child stardom to become an international icon, and her adult life is a queasy blur of private planes, step-and-repeats, aspirational hotel rooms, and strangers screaming for her just to notice them. When Leanna and Pablo meet at 5:00 a.m. at the bodega in the dead of winter it’s absurd to think they’d be A Thing. But as they discover who they are, who they want to be, and how to defy the deafening expectations of everyone else, Lee and Pab turn to each other. Which, of course, is when things get properly complicated.

Book Synopsis Feasting Dragon, Starving Eagle by : Peter G. de Krassel
Download or read book Feasting Dragon, Starving Eagle written by Peter G. de Krassel and published by CAL Books. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of how America, through its misguided and bankrupt economic, financial and foreign policies and alliances, has allowed China and its citizens to prosper at the expense and suffering of Americans, who are picking up most of the global economic rehabilitation tab. The ongoing domestic, foreign, economic and geopolitical policy failures of career politicians in Washington, D.C., financed by their Wall Street backers and executed by their politically connected, incompetent bureaucrats charged with implementing the congressional and presidential non-starters are graphically analyzed and described. Americas career politicians and corporate titans are blamed directly for their stupid and misguided policies. While America has spent more than $10 billion to $15 billion a month for five years on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and continues to do so China has spent the same amount of money on education, developing new technologies and building state-of-the-art infrastructure relevant to the 21st century. It doesnt take much to figure out which country made the better investment. The 2008 Beijing Olympics, where China won more gold medals than the U.S., are a reaction on how China has raised its game in the daily global competition for economic, political and sports supremacy, not military. China is not a military threat to America. China and America differ in their geopolitical and domestic approach and how each countrys soldiers must serve their citizens. Two visually poignant pictures of which country uses its armed forces more productively are the images of the Peoples Liberation Army helping the victims of the devastating Sichuan earthquake in 2008, and removing the masses of algae from a beach in Qingdao, where the Olympic sailing events took place. What a contrast to America scrambling to find emergency personnel to help out in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. America is now playing catch-up with its economic stimulus package in an effort to continue to be a relevant global inter-local power. America and China can continue to learn from each other as their people and economies become more intertwined. Both countries must join hands to lead the world through climate, economic and political change in the 21st century as true political partners to ensure that the world avoids Armageddon.
