Good morning from Shenzhen, China where robots sweep the streets and nearly everyone drives an EV car or scooter. This is the tech manufacturing hub of the world.

Rice noodles in a complex chicken sock with fish balls, meat cake, two kinds of mushrooms, shallots, garlic, bok choy, fish sauce, bean chili sauce and fried starch. The best cure for jet lag in Hong Kong.

Absolute chaos at Dulles including the longest immigration lines and bag delays I have ever seen, as the government shutdown approaches the record. (Thankfully global entry helped with at least one aspect today).

At Union Market today we tried Egg Yaki, Chef Nicholas Martino’s omelet-pancake creation. We picked the kimchi version, which turned out to one of the best egg dishes I’ve ever had in my life: tangy, spicy, a little citrus from the yuzu mayo, and just the right crunch from garlic and shallots.

Really enjoyed Varun Grover’s standup show in DC and hanging out with him. Not only is he funny and smart, but also down-to-earth.

Macaulay once dismissed the learning of the East in favour of a single shelf of a European library. Many such libraries were built on colonial wealth.
Today, knowledge both human and synthetic is at our fingertips. The John Rylands Library reminds you beauty still has a place in it.

Manchester’s wealth was once woven from cotton shipped from India and sold back as “Manchester cloth,” undercutting Indian weavers. Today, the city has a statue of Gandhi, champion of swadeshi and hand-spun khadi, standing in the place that once drove the trade he fought against.
