Thanks George!  What was the time frame for YST bottles in general?
Pin, I appreciate the clarification and translation with regards to Peking and Beijing.
Joey,  thanks for the geography lesson too!

Regarding my grandmother, yes, she was quite fortunate to have the opportunities to travel when she did and as much as she did. On this particular trip she was traveling with her aunt, and they spent a year abroad together, traveling all over Asia.  My grandmother's wrote about her travels later in life, but I do have the letters that her aunt wrote to her mother (my great grandmother) during the trip!  They are beautifully written, and it's taking me time to go through them, as the penmanship is somewhat formal and hard to decipher at times.  It's quite a shame that the handwritten letter is becoming somewhat a thing of the past, so I cherish these family heirlooms.

Cheers,


Rheuben.
