continuing my introduction to the motherland, per HOM:
- not quite as polished as shanghai
- with an earthier and smokier (literally!) vibe
- closer to the mid-century post-war china of my reading
- with a dialect i can (somewhat) understand
- and food HOM seems to recognize from his childhood
- plus very organized public loos with electronic occupancy indicators!
to reiterate:
- the old ginger duck is goood
- as is the simple stall-level cooking
- the speech level is hearing aid loud
- and their smokers are a dime a dozen
