Tonight’s town, whose name is probably only Chinese jibberish to you and only means something to me tonight and tomorrow and in my fading memory of a great old luguan with wooden floors for half the price we’re usued to (US$0.60/person) with a nice female laoban and a rigourous welcome from a gang of children, is called Fenyi, somewhere in Jiangxi province, but getting close to Hunan province, the capital of which, Changsha, we are bound for - 255km away according to the sign. In Changsha we will be meeting up with Adam and Jim’s old friends and students from their days living there 2 and 3 years ago.
You might find it interesting, however, to learn that 江西 (Jiangxi in Pinyin) literally means “river west,” better translated as “west of the river” perhaps. What river, I’m not so sure of.
We’re alive and well, though tired, and less Nakia, as she wrote, she’s in Hong Kong on “business.” It’s definately not the same without her, something essential is missing from FBR. We hope to be reunited in the coming week, if not in Changsha, then not too far south of Changsha on our way to the Guangzhou City wedding. Tired because our Band Wagon is now packed also with Nakia’s disected bike…and we biked long yesturday, 110km instead of our usual 75. Last night, the busy railroad near our luguan in a very small market town kept me up from 4am; other than that, a great experience of small town life - without street lights, but brand new concrete roads.
I’d like to do more music than we have been lately. We’ve been plotting to play at Jim’s and Adam’s Changsha college campuses, where interest in our message of global friendship and mindfully low carbon emmisions lifestyles is sure to be ripe.
你好看的懂的朋友！我们今天晚上住在江西分宜，一个比较小的城市。我们往湖南长沙走。在那我们打算看Jim 和 Adam的朋友和以前的学生。我最近注意我们太少唱我们的歌，所以我们今天打算了在长沙的大学唱。我们觉得大学生会最明白我们的信息：国际友谊和不用汽油合石油的生活方式 － 变换到更觉察的生活方式。
我们最近是比较累的。累的因为我们之一，Nakia，前天坐火车到香港，在那有事情。所以我们放她的自行车在我们的推车。而且昨天我们骑比普通的天长：110公里。我们平时骑70－80公里。我们打算跟Nakia一个星期后再见面左右，一起骑到广州参加我们朋友的婚礼。可是到那时前，就是我们四个男的在路上。
今天，再考论如果你真的想一个汽车。如果你要一个，考沦为什么。
下次骑行车把！＝）

Pete, you and your friends can go and visit and rest at a wonderful tea house - the water comes right up from the ground outside the building…. You all can spend an afternoon visiting and drinking tea. Have fun. Be sure to visit Mao’s house ….:You will have lights in Changsha - it’s not like your country side experiences. Thanks for sharing….Jim’s mom

As a chinese, i dont know the mean of Jiangxi ether. I search it in baidu. it is said that the emperor of Tang created a province named “Jiangnan”. Jiangxi is west of jiangnan province,so emperor named it as jiangxi.
Jiangnan province locate south of Long river.

To the Fueled by Rice team:
I’m an editor with the Saint John’s University magazine. I’ve been following your bike trip with interest, and would like to include a brief profile of the Fueled By Rice team and project in the upcoming
winter ’08 issue. It looks like I can get content, including pictures, from your great Web site, so it won’t take any of your time.
The next issue will feature an article about SJU graduates who are in “green” businesses, and we’re planning to run several additional short profiles with a green theme, as well. Your group is a good fit for one of these profiles, since you’re powered by pedal. Would you let me know if you’re willing to be included? I need to know as soon as possible, due to the impending editorial deadline.
I also sent this inquiry via email to Pehresmann@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Jean Scoon

Thank you!

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
