Coincidence? Today dude emailed me a link to a metafilter thread about Chinese food around the world. Not an hour later i notice the NYTimes has an article entitled Craving Hyphenated Chinese. While i liked the article, i can't say the same for the majority of the metafilter comments.One of the best resources on the Chinese food diaspora is Cheuk Kwan’s documentary series, Chinese Restaurants, covering Chinese cuisine in: Argentina, Brazil North and South, Canada, Cuba, India West and East, Israel, Madagascar, Mauritius, Norway, Peru, Turkey, South Africa and Trinidad & Tobago!
Alert! Those in the NYC area: 2 Hurricane Katrina benefits for affected Asian American communities, this Sunday and Thursday. Details here at Kontrast's site.

I couldn't make it to the benefit at Galapagos last night, which made me very sad. I had been looking forward to it -- I know the host and some of the lovely performers. Do you know whether I can send in donations, or who I should speak to regarding that?
I hope to go to the PEN event tomorrow!
Random info regarding Chinese restaurants: in Eastern Europe, a lot of Chinese restaurants are run by Vietnamese families. I'm not sure whether they're Chinese Vietnamese, but that's what a former flatmate (who is Czech) told me.
I think you can send donations to someone via Kontrast's site. If not, let me know and i'll get you a more direct email address. The one last night raised a few thousand!
How was the Chinese food in Eastern Europe?!
