The Illuminated Donkey is back in action with a throwdown!

As it happens, I have been watching Asian cinema by the yard, and have recently corresponded with Mr. Frank concerning such matters as

• the importability via standard airmail of thousand year old eggs from the Pearl on the shores of the South China Sea
• layers of meaning in contemporary mainland chinese cinema
• food in general
• the ongoing torture scandal

I hasten to point out that I did not enquire as to the nature of Mr. Frank’s sainted grandparents’ family business. I can confirm, however, that Mr. Frank exhibited a thorough grasp of Hong Kong’s import and export laws regarding poultry products.
