Nanjing is in the subtropics. This time of year, the weather alternates between intense, oppressive heat and torrential rains. This is the season of the "plum rains," so-called because the Chinese plum comes ripe at this time.

Roz...Wow...what an adventure you are having. Your notes are a joy to read. "An elegant dinner" for $3.50 !? I just bought a Pal's chicken sandwich for $3.99. It was fine , but "elegant" did not cross my mind to describe it. We will continue to follow your notes and be working on some things for when you return, but you are likely to be so full of ideas that you will have your plate full for a long time...and I'm talking about ideas...not dumplings. Best wishes. Mark Musick
