@CurtExplores Yeah Qingdao airport has something like this for DiDis

I love how in France all the menu are in French and there’s no English. It’s almost like “oh you don’t read French? Then use a translator app.” 😂

@HistorianZhang So not only is their physical infrastructure falling apart but their digital infrastructure is also sinking 😂

@guysflavortown Reconstruction of how Xianbei sounded in their native language

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

That’s because the 花 surname is a later addition. We are never told what her surname is and the name Mulan 木蘭 is likely a compound Särpi name

[Kaiserfish @Kaiserfish1]

Hua Mulan is certainly from the *Six Garrisons* of Northern Wei.
However, Hua/花 was never a Xianbei surname and considering that she addressed the Northern Wei emperor as "天子,"
Her family was more likely similar to Gao Huan: a hereditary lower-ranking officer family.

@TheGrouchHK Also this apparently happened in 2017? Okay? Why bother bringing it up now

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@TheGrouchHK Controversial opinion but I feel like Lanzhou lamian is overrated with pitiful amounts of bad beef 🤣

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

Completely stopped outside of Avignon for the past 20 minutes …high speed indeed 🤣

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

The joys of riding the trains in Europe….40 minute delay because of “people on tracks”. When the conductor announced it the entire carriage screamed “fuck”

They even have an entire webpage on it 🤣

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

Why can’t European trains install rotating seats? Why does half the carriage always have to ride backwards? 🥲

Cathay Pacific lounge really does have good food

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@HistorianZhang Don’t fancy the rain but at least the temperature is nice! Right now in HK you get rain and heat 😂

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

Wow a conference that actually gives speakers 20 minute for presentations…so rare these days

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@cszabla Yellow paper hurts their eyes and red ink hurts their self esteem

[Joel Chan @kjoules]

Oh cool, HKG is testing a system which shows the percentage of a flight’s checked baggage that has arrived at the baggage claim, and also displays the location of the flight’s baggage tractors

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@cszabla I feel it's more the disconnect between senior scholars (and the students they train) and those of us who do more transnational/comparative/connected histories. The conversation today was dominated by senior scholars and most of the paradigms they said are just very old-fashioned

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

I’m shocked at how many “Middle Period” China scholars are still stuck in the Sinocentric mind frame. The entire discussion is “China this” and “China that”. Nobody, even those who claim to do comparative history, talks about the Global Middle Ages or the Chinggisid Exchange

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@HistorianZhang @teodorio He’ll call off another strike on Iran on Tuesday

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@chetellik There’s already a New Ming History! (Although people try not to use that term)

[Yiming Ha 哈一鳴 @HistorianHa]

@1905mg_ It’s such a missed opportunity….
