Chapter 6: To the South

* important: an occupied people (Portuguese in Timor, Dutch, English in SE Asia) and new independence (Angola, Indo, India, Macao...)

pg 171: humor - 'I told myself that the dirt on my chopsticks was a discoloration of the wood, or so ingrained as to be harmlessly immovable.'

pg 174-5 a little seasickness

*I am realizing how much I like Thubron' style, choices - lyrical and historical - Annie Dillard-esque?
