Have fun.  Remember that you are, and will *always* be a gwai-loh, a
barbarian...  The worse thing you can do is arrive with any kind of attitude...

Don't bother.  They are heavy, bulky, and pointless to bring.  You'll get
to use what's local, which likely means wok.  Only way to learn is to do.

Besides, while fancy pots and pans are helpful, a good cook can create
delectable meals using just about anything...

Thank you.  I had *never* heard that argument for being a vegetarian.  I
shall remember it! :-)

Saddly, I know nothing of it.
