Nice cup, Betty. Bodum is also sold in the Netherlands, I believe.
No, I didn't read that book, but bought it at Amazon's and am planning to read it at Christmas. It's always so fascinating to see how different cultures influence each other.
Do either of you know of the books of Robert van Gulik, a Dutch scientist and writer, who wrote about Judge Dee? It is about a Chinese judge and describes the court of law and criminal investigation in ancient China. Very well written. If ever you see one, buy it and read. Worth while.

Excuse: in my cup is cold coffee. Need to cool down a bit again after the glühwein.
