I didn't know the Nanchang fighter came with flight attendants!

Where is the galley, anyway? And what kind of in flight movies would they show?

Inquiring minds want to know!

French woman Hua Xinmin admires the fine stone carving above the gate of an old folk house in Beijin. Born in a lane in Beijing 48 years ago and as a foreign national of some Chinese blood lineage, she loves hutong (lanes). She has devoted herself to the protection of lanes in the Chinese capital since 1998. Her everyday work is to investigate those courtyards that shoud be protected, or have been demolished as well as those that are being dismantled, and then forward the information to the government and cultural relics sector for the protection of hutong.

The Nelson-Atkins Museum here in Kansas City has an excellent Oriental collection, complete with several of these pottery buildings. I guess I didn't realize that they were funerary items, though.

The most amazing piece in the entire collection, IMHO, is this one... http://www.nelson-atkins.org/collect...l/bodhisat.htm

It is especially well-situated in the museum, and is an wonderful place for contemplation and introspection. Very, very nice energy there. However, the museum is currently undergoing a major construction and revamping project, and this wonderful statue may be moved. I sincerely hope not, because it is just too perfect as it is.

And, just so you know that I'm not *too* new-agey and all Pagan weird, here's my very favorite piece in the whole gallery, by our own local boy Thomas Hart Benton:
