The second goal is more for my sanity and convenience, to have our favorite recipes in one place that we can refer back to.

Image: Thomas Lessman - click for http://www.worldhistorymaps.info/index.html Welcome to Talessman's Atlas of World History!
I'm Thomas Lessman, an amateur historian with over 20 years of experience researching world history. I've had a passion for history ever since childhood, especially in designing historical maps. It would be a shame to let my research go to waste, so I decided to share my work and knowledge through this website.

China Expat's are working with Tal to offer maps of ancient Chinese / Asian history and movements of people across ages. This work is to support our Chinese History section, that requires maps that do not yet exist = its a lot of work!
   
Image: Thomas Lessman - click for http://www.worldhistorymaps.info/index.html Wikipedia

China Expat's are working with Wikipedia in several areas to help foster free and creditable information regarding China. Sometimes this entails supplying free photographs to their 'Commons' section, or editing other peoples work.

Mainly we are involved with Chinese Music and history, of which traditional Chinese musical instruments and traditional uses by ethnic minorities, or Han, are emphasised.
