Bringing new meaning to “The World Will Be Watching.” I spent two nights in Hong Kong this week. The Chinese movie poster was on the wall outside a theater, and the Chinese-translation novels were in a multilingual Hong Kong bookstore. I LOVE the Chinese book covers—especially the Book One cover, which has silhouettes of Katniss and Peeta running through the forest.

About Doug Firs and Green Tea

Portland, Oregon has been my home my whole life. I work as a head teacher at an after-school program for elementary-age students.

I traveled around Israel with my best friend in March 2013, and explored Hong Kong and Yunnan, China with friends in March 2012. I was a study-abroad student in Oxford, England during July and August 2011. Check out my travel posts from those trips!

I read and write fantasy, fairy tales, poetry, and some sci-fi. Ursula Le Guin and Neil Gaiman are my heroes.

Food is my obsession. I experiment, I substitute one ingredient for another, I make big messes, I invent recipes, and on occasion I even follow recipes.
