Korla Pears and a Trip to Everest
In a bit of a Korla mash-up - a story from China Business Blog about the news that Xinjiang’s delicious fragrant pears will, after 13 years of negotiations be accepted for export to the United States of America.
China is to export fragrant pears specially grown in northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to the United State  after 13 years of negotiations.
More on the decision to export fragrant pears on the China Business blog.
And on another note, Michael, of The Opposite End of China fame has made it back safely from the Mt. Everest base camp. He has some beautiful pictures of the worlds highest mountain kingdom up on his blog with hopefully more coming soon.
On the subject of photos, this photo was stolen from Michaels blog by your truly and show my former Uyghur teacher in his family’s pear orchard. A great guy, and I am sure he is over the moon that his family’s produce can now be exported.
