![]() Here’s a great take from PDX Eater’s Adam Levbarg: ![]() Something tells me this place is here to stay however. And the best part of it? This establishment is right down on NW 4th where so many other Chinese restaurants have come and gone. Fortunately, you’re in for a real treat if you choose this new spot for lunch or dinner. However, a new kind of Shanghai is gracing Portland these days… Shanghai Chinese Restaurant. When I hear the word Shanghai, well, being a native Portlander it makes me think of our infamous Shanghai Tunnels where hapless folks were spirited away at the turn of the century. Well I needed to hear no more to explore! Off to lunch I went and am happy to report back that not only is the chicken quality good, there are also a number of other, interesting items that up the authenticity and will surely drive demand. And the most recent addition to this list? An authentic, Shanghai-inspired restaurant that has opened up right smack in the heart of old Chinatown. Now there are several good-to-great establishments where one can find not only the basics, but many hard-to-find dishes that would otherwise require expensive airfare and 20+ hours of flight. Skip to the future and Portland’s Chinese food scene has blossomed considerably. I know we stopped going down there as a family in search of our favorite Kung Pao. Then, in the late 80s, many or most of these establishments went down in quality or closed for good. Granted, most of these restaurants were of the Chinese-American variety, “but the chicken quality was good” (as my mom still says as a gauge). Back in the day, as in the 1970s and 80s, Portland’s Chinatown district was home to many, tasty, Chinese restaurants. A lifetime fan of good Chinese food, I saw the rise, fall, and rise again of quality Chinese food in Portland. ![]() “In an effort to heal her body she has led a stress-free life with a vegan diet, which eventually wasn’t enough, and she’s been privately having dialysis.” “Bijou was born with small kidneys and has been quietly dealing with kidney disease for the last five years, including being on the transplant list,” Masterson said in a statement to Entertainment Online.

I followed step 1 and visited VMware Fusion Player 13 page where I logged on my account (if you don’t have, create one) and then registered for a personal account to get the licence.Īll sounded great but there was one problem. ![]() If you want to know how to generate Windows 11 ISO file (ARM) without the need of installing Parallels Desktop like mentioned in the 9to5mac article, see my post Installing Windows 11 on macOS Installing VMware Fusion Let’s see if following the guide from 9to5mac I will be able to get Windows 11 with decent working performance and support for Microsoft Store. The last time I tried (in beta) it wasn’t straight forward and I went with UTM. What appealed to me was the mention of the fact that the application includes a free personal license option. Recently VMware Fusion 13 gained official support for Windows on Macs with Apple Silicon.Īfter the recent update of my Installation of Windows 11 using UTM with Windows 11 Version 22H2 (22621.674), I returned to the problem of missing Microsoft Store and decided to give up for a bit until I found a post How to install Windows 11 on Apple Silicon Macs with free VMware Fusion Player in my Feedly reading list. Between Parallels and UTM there was always VMware Fusion however I never spend too much time trying it in full. Struggles with updates and missing functions put me a little behind. I know that from time to time I will need to head to Windows so I went into the path of using UTM for that.Īs much as UTM is great and free, the performance of Windows is a bit poor. I recalculate the use of Windows on my macOS device and the conclusion was that I am paying and not using it. I cut unnecessary subscriptions by some and Parallels has been one of them (along with Bitdefender in favour of free Avira). ![]() As expensive the life become recently, everybody is trying to save some pennies, even me. ![]() Parallels Desktop is a bit expensive in long term. Upgrades from prior versions are also available at a lower cost.I used to use Parallels Desktop and with my hand on my heart, I can tell that this is one of the best software to run Windows 11 on Mac with Apple Silicon. VMware Fusion 13 Player is priced at $104.30, and VMware Fusion Pro is priced at $139.30. The software supports OpenGL 4.3 in Windows and Linux VMs on Intel and in Linux VMs on Apple silicon.įusion 13 Player is free for personal use, and commercial licenses for both versions are available at a 30 percent discount to celebrate the launch. To support this feature, Fusion 13 uses a fast encryption type that encrypts only the parts of the VM necessary to support the TPM device for performance and security. Users who need to run traditional win32 and 圆4 apps can do so through built-in emulation.įusion 13 also includes a TPM 2.0 virtual device that can be added to any VM, storing contents in an encrypted section of the virtual machine files and offering hardware-tpm functionality parity. With certified and signed drivers Windows 11 looks fantastic, and adjust the resolution to 4K and beyond! Note that Fusion on Apple Silicon must run the Arm variant of Windows 11, and it does not support the x86/Intel version of Windows. VMware Tools provides virtual graphics and networking, and more is still to come. Intel Macs offer full support for Windows 11, while on Apple silicon, VMware says there is a first round of features for Windows 11 on Arm. With Fusion 13, Intel and Apple silicon Mac users can access Windows 11 virtual machines. VMware has been testing Apple silicon support for several months now ahead of the launch of the latest version of Fusion. For those unfamiliar with Fusion, it is designed to allow Mac users to operate virtual machines to run non-macOS operating systems like Windows 11.įusion 13 Pro and Fusion 13 Player are compatible with both Intel Macs and Apple silicon Macs equipped with M-series chips, offering native support. VMware today announced the launch of Fusion 13, the latest major update to the Fusion virtualization software. ![]() Not only are there higher concentrations of them at tourist hotspots, but sex tourists fetishize, fear, ridicule, or simply try out, kathoeys. In fact, many working in the sex industry send sums of money back home, almost in payment for their perceived sins or their chosen lifestyles, in order to ease their relationships, especially with parents or guardians.īeing a distinct part of Bangkok’s notorious sex industry puts them further in the public eye. While the culture is tolerant, as Ocha explains, “based on Thai Buddhism, trans women are believed to be born as they are in order to repay karmic debt, due to some kind of sexual transgression in a previous life.” Thus, ladyboys are not reviled, but they are pitied it would be impossible for them to ask for financial support from their families. Still, in Thailand, SRS may cost over $10,000, and given the average income, many trans women turn to sex work to help pay for their procedures. ![]() Thus, another reason kathoeys are so visible is that they are able to change their bodies to suit their identities more easily. While countries like the UK cover SRS in national health insurance, the rigorous regulations and wait times greatly hamper the benefits. This heritage of acceptance has gone a long way in laying the foundation for Thailand’s relatively affordable, easily available sex reassignment surgery (SRS) services. Its traditions and social norms remained largely unscathed, and this is perhaps the biggest reason it has emerged as the leader in communal broadmindedness towards trans people: they continued to live openly, to this day. However, Thailand retained a lot of its openness, because although its interactions with the West were vast and deep-rooted, it was never colonized. Colonizers brought judgment and persecution, and the transgender population became repressed both by them, and by the new generations of converted locals. The dominant non-monotheistic religions of the area had cyclical views of life, and the resulting notion of karma seemed to imply that being intersex was not a perversion, but rather, fated.Īs the occidental influence in Asia increased, and the Christian view of non-heteronormative societies being sinful crept in, this tolerance began to fall away. ![]() In fact, recordings of the Indian hijra, the Indonesian bissu, the Malay sida-sida, the Filipino asog, and so on, show a historical acceptance of non-binary people across the region. At this point in time, Thailand’s belief systems were an integration of Khmer Hinduism, Tai-Chinese animism, and Mon Theravada Buddhism, cultures that already recognized intersex individuals. So where did this open attitude come from? The earliest recordings of the third gender stretch as far back as the 14 th century, in a creation myth called the Pathamamulamuli, where the makers of the world’s first human beings specifically declare they will create three genders: male, female, and hermaphrodite. “I enjoy being as a woman,” she says, “but it is not something I need, only something I like right now.” However, she thinks that in 30 years, when she is 60, she will want to dress and live as a man. For example, Sisi has not chosen to receive any hormone therapy or surgery, and regularly dresses in traditionally feminine clothing. It’s important to note that in Thailand, gender is not only seen as varied and nuanced, but also as a fluid concept that may change over time for any individual. In fact, as I grew up, trans women were such a normal part of my daily landscape, as shopkeepers, manicurists, and so on, that I learnt far more about what it meant to be trans when I moved to the US for university. Still, the fact that Bangkok is widely considered the trans capital of the world, ahead of many other Eastern and Western cities, is irrefutable. The non-uniformity of collection methods, definitions, and social taboos, renders these statistics unusable. Some countries gather numbers from plastic surgeons, some from telephone health surveys, some from scaling studied samples, others from psychiatrists, and so on. Other figures suggest between 1-3%, which is on par with some estimates for Thailand. There are then two possibilities, which are not mutually exclusive: one, that the population of trans women is greater because they are able to identify and express themselves more easily, and two, that the presence of this population is more established or apparent than in other places.Ī study from 2011 estimated that 0.3% of people in the US were trans a study conducted just five years after claims double that. While several studies in the past two decades have explored genetic factors, there have been no conclusive or even credible analyses there is no reason to believe that Thai people have an inborn tendency over other people to experience gender dysphoria. ![]() It’s also easy to share lists with family members, making taking care of grocery trips a breeze.
