I’m sure I bumped into this guy on Chapel St/Brunswick Rd/Sydney Rd/Acland St/Barkly St/High St/Smith St in Melbourne recently. I’m sure.

I was today years old…

slaps table Thank you. I was trying to figure out why it looked kinda familiar. I’m playing NG+ and gearing up for the DLC! (I know I’m late to the party but I’m super psyched!)

Still poison. But if you had a cut/open wound on your skin or in your mouth/digestive tract venom would still be effective.

Have responded to OP above :)

Okay, hold onto your hats:

Fenby’s ‘History of Modern China’ is epic and magisterial but far too long for this (goes back to the mid-1800s), while McGregor’s ‘The Party’ is good for post-‘89 but doesn’t really touch the topics you’re interested in.

Richard Kraus’ books ‘Very Short Introduction’ series is apparently excellent.

Two I’ve not read but come recommended:

The Cultural Revolution: A People’s History, 1962–1976 – Frank Dikötter

Tombstone: The Great Chinese Famine, 1958-1962 — Yang Jisheng (not strictly what your internet stranger asked about, but the roots of the Cultural Revolution are surely to be found in Mao’s Great Leap Forward.)

Finally there is also a doco ‘China’s Cultural Revolution: The Full Story’ - on YT/NewPipe etc. - quite good!

I hope you find some answers to your queries!

Sit tight; I will ask my bro-in-law. He will, no doubt, have an answer. If not, he’ll at least have a reason why it doesn’t exist 😆 Recommendation incoming.

Right?! As if this hasn’t won an award. (If it’s a real photo)

It definitely depends where you’re flying to/from and which airline. Virgin/Jetstar in Australia will not give you food for many flights - including an international flight to Indonesia (yes they’re both ‘budget’ but ffs). However, Air New Zealand will probably have food service for a 3hr flight.

Yes. But you have to pay. Through the nose. No cash. Card only. And your “meal” may still be frozen in the centre. Ahhh, modern comforts

This looks like it could be a Casiopea - Live album cover. Nice
