https://hcyip.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/paths-of-glory-book-review
On Taiwan, China, travel, books, and more. Paths of Glory- book review. On August 4, 2015. I’m back in Taiwan now and I’ve been doing some reading. I just finished Paths of Glory. By Jeffrey Archer, a fictionalized retelling of the life of English mountaineer George Mallory and his challenges of Mount Everest which would ultimately prove fatal. I didn’t expect the book to be that stimulating but it was and I finished it in days. Mallory was a driven character with a burning passion for climbing, which he...

You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.-Cesar Chavez. It is been tough months, the kind of tough I wouldn’t easily put down on paper! I am sure the last two weeks you read and re-read articles about life and the passing of former South African president and anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela. I quietly read a lot too. That said, death is inevitable and, in the end, the diff...

Navigating family and place. The Culture Shock of Coming Home. Who Made this Grave. October 29, 2012. Calaveras de la Catrina.

In time for the Day of the Dead festivities for which Michoacán is famous, my son happened to be just entering the incessant-question stage of toddlerhood. He asked three hundred times a day. Who made this book? In lime a...
