Works for me. I've been to Tengchong twice over the last 16 years and it's a very interesting area historically: the British used to have a trading base there for Burma-China trade, and there is a lot of local geothermal activity, hot springs, lakes, old architecture, nature, etc. Relevant quotes from https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup ...
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. - Bertrand Russell (1950)
A smart machine is a profoundly paradoxical entity, but a paradox is not a supernatural act. A paradox is a symptom of a breakdown in two competing definitional systems. - Bruce Sterling (1995)
Once you've got some words looking back at you, you can take two or three — or throw them away and look for others. - Bernard Malamud
Writing is nature's way of letting you know how sloppy your thinking is. - Guindon
The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you're allowed to do whatever you like. - 'Neil Gaiman on open source', Peter Hilton
When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less. - Humpty Dumpty ("in a rather scornful tone"), 'Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There' (1871), Lewis Carroll
A rose by any other name will end up as a cabbage. - Sam Gardiner
A language is a dialect with an army and a navy. - Max Weinreich
Words build bridges in to unexplored regions. - Adolf Hitler
Furious activity is no substitute for understanding. - H. H. Williams
Blind monkey at the typewriter. - Robert Burnham Jr., Astronomer (1983)
