+ though it has nothing to do with homelessness, i would like to

+ town on the yangtze, in which an american spent two years teaching

+ portrays possibly ongoing processes.
+
+ river town by peter hessler.
+
+ it puts up a picture which is difficult to stereotype.

+ remember :)
again, this has nothing to do with the main topic. but why should
we miss the woods for the trees?
