Thanks so much for your email, Sunheart! Blessings!

Methinks that what makes anthropology different from history is field work - or even newly per my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book ... 'pool play' - and participant-observation (and the questions we ask as well) ... and that this goes on in NHE, Chloe's Stanford Honor's undergrad thesis (here's an excerpt - https://web.archive.org/web/20070125003710/http://www.stanford.edu/dept/anthroCASA/pdf/newsletterV2.pdf) and in the new online ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy social science method (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy) ... re ...

Looks like virtual Harbin is already open: Visit the Harbin Gate here http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg but has a long way to go & you still can't get in Gate in this #RealisticVirtualHarbin So hop in your bath tub & read 'Naked Harbin Ethnography'https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity +2 other Harbin books

Have you checked out "time slider" functionality in Google Street View? ... Still in baby form, you can toggle at the Gate between 2007 (with the little red FIRETRUCK) and 2012 - http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ... and I'm thinking of adding to Street View my pic of the Harbin gatehouse after the fire fro''round 2015 ... and seeking to soak from home in bath tub while visiting realistic virtual Harbin itself now, in 2015 ... (since the pools themselves weren't destroyed, but Harbin was pretty devastated and seems pretty bleak in the aftermath) ... and in 2012 and 2007 (and eventually in 1978 and '84 + + + ) ... by slipping my smartphone with Street View into a digital mask like Google Cardboard (yet waterproof!:) ... and doing more pool play or field work - and ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy too - both virtually and actually (if and when I can head up to Harbin again) ... (More books to come, with the 'book' newly re-conceived online ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/leaf-re-conceiving-book-printable-on.html) ... I'm a hoping that Peter Norvig and Stanford's Larry Leifer will help with all the related machine learning (and neurodance) - Check out around 38 mins a possible building of the virtual Harbin warm pool -

Scott:
I had to short-circuit the long-history/changes of "Harbin [community]aka a place where lots of people visit, The ashes of 2015, indicate the illusion of your historical tome' , since [ out-with-the-old; in-with-the-new ] erase the mind/social entity called [? what you wrote about ?] ... I am soaking in the hot/cold/warm pools... attempting a body-healing experience... the sociology story is erased in the "ashes"... Blessings... Sunheart

Hey Sunheart, .. re my email just now (and which I blogged about as well - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/lingcod-methinks-that-what-makes.html)...

Just emailed and heard back (see below) from Yogini Angela Farmer on Lesvos, Greece (who teaches Yoga at Harbin sometimes - but we can't take this course, of course:). Asked Angela at the close:

Can you figure out how to get into virtual Harbin here

Sunheart: can you help us begin to build a realistic virtual Harbin inside the Harbin gate? :)

Kind regards, Scott

Thank you dear Scott

Yes we lived a few miles only from the first home of the Quakers in Buckinghamshire
Thank you for the quote.
With few words, more silence and listening to our soul’s wisdom, we could indeed all live peacefully .... sisters and brothers, sharing the amazing gifts of life.
His-story has been made from guns and war, suppression and killing. Our-story would be told silently from the heart.

Much love from beautiful Eftalou,
Angela

Dear Angela,

To paraphrase George Fox (founder of Quakerism) - where Friends/Quakers have some roots in your neck of the woods of Buckinghamshire, Angela :) - "there is one, even yoga and meditation teacher ... who can speak to my condition" ... ("There is one, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition"; and when I heard it my heart did leap for joy,"https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/George_Fox).

...

(realizing you might not have great internet wifi on Lesvos, so 'om' ;)
L, Scott
