Since McR has not posted, I think we can continue the game from previous thread..

Kucha, China ,Ancient Buddhist Kingdom located on the branch of silk road ..

Kucha (China) >> Kashgar or Kashi(China) : From a city which was once the seat of Hinayana Buddhism, famous for its Thousand Buddha Caves to Kashgar, oasis city situated in the western part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, tremendously famous for its role as a stop-off point on the Silk Road, which is now a home to a large Muslim community, and where Chinese Hun represent just a few people...

re: Aberystwyth

I don't really remember what gave me that association.
Might have been some weird connection with 'wails, whales and Wales'.
I was probably hallucinating already.

Anyway:

Kashi -- La Jolla, California
(La Jolla is the seat of Kashi Food Company)
