Modern Meets Traditional: Xiamen Island, China
Thanks for sharing this... it would have been interesting to hear about some of the funny things that you probably experienced in China, since you lived there for two years without learning much Chinese. I lived in Taipei for four years and formally studied Mandarin for seven, so indulge me in correcting your "Western" pronunciation of Xiamen. In Mandarin it's correctly pronounced "Hsiah-mun." "X" is not quite an "sh"... more aspirated, and there is no "aw" sound in Chinese.— June 2, 2010 11:22 p.m.
Andersen's Split Pea Soup Restaurant, Santa Nella
Thanks - I never knew about this place, maybe because it was dark each time I drove by. The special sounds delicious, though after consuming so much liquid in one meal, I'm sure everyone will need to visit the next rest stop too.— July 10, 2009 1:40 p.m.
