Also they have allowed me to realize that I've been too fluffed up by traditional travelogue writing methods. If the world's writers were more in tune in writing what they think rather than what they think the reader wants to see we'd live in a more interesting and stimulating place. The caterpillar like Chinese traditional medicine you mentioned is picked in the early spring of each year on the Tibetan plains and sold at ridiculous prices in mainland China. Fetching 100 Yuan or more a piece. Heya Michelle,
