#1 Paging the Fryass Ribelation Almy to the white courtesy phone.

A museum by the dam displays calligraphy by Mr Jiang and Mr Li and photographs of visits by them.

Boy howdy, that's one convincing display of engineering prowess.

#5 last month on a Yangtze River cruise, while gazing out the balcony, I noticed that a 2-3 acre parcel had just slide down into the river (I have a photo). It was on a 45 degree (non-inhabited) slope and it must have occurred just moments before the ship came upon the area, since the dust still hadn't settled. It seemed to be in a very remote area, so luckily no one was taken down, but one can see that this will be a chronic problem for the years to come.
