Wine and alcoholic beverages:
One person asked whether wine is provided at meals other than shabbat. It is not. We carry a great deal of equipment including wine for shabbat and we usually are seriously overweight as is.

I should add that our days are generally filled with enjoyable experiences and all of us are usually high without wine by the time we have dinner. A good number of evenings, we will be going out to see shows and other performances.

I found some lovely photos of the tea harvesting that is being done by the Dong women in an area we will visit (not far from Guilin)
