Don't get your panties in a bunch because of a simple promotional offer. If the place wants to attract more foreigners there is usually a good reason for it and the bar/club is expecting to get the money back somehow eventually. If I were to scream and shout everytime I buy something that I know a Chinese guy is able to get cheaper I wouldn't have time to do anything else. All this PC crap is ridiculous,, maybe next time I'll demand the right to use the ladies restroom in the holy name of equal rights.
Sounds weird. Are you sure they didn't mean that the owner should be a Chinese national? There are some pretty strict rules for foreigners owning property here and it sounds a bit weird that it should be a matter of using a Chinese or a foreign name but this is China so,,,. Anyway if you need a Chinese name I can let you use mine,, just sign the property over to me and send all your personal contact info as well as your bank account numbers to Mr. Hulu Mbolo, Lagos, Nigeria and I'll make sure that he gets in contact with you. Here you go:
I just remembered one. I don't mind eating at (almost) all sorts of tiny food places but there is one thing that annoys the hell out of me. Whenever the cook pours the food into your styrofoam whateveritscalled and some of it falls onto the kitchen table the cook or waitress will just scoop it up with their hands and put it back onto your food. It happens quite often but since there isn't much I can do about it my "solution" so far has been to not look at the cook-at-work. Out of sight out of mind. Unless someone can teach me how to say "I'd rather have a little less food than to eat something that fell onto the table where you cut the raw chicken 5 mins ago" hehe,, but I guess if I had to say that it would already be too late :-)
Kundu at 4 AM in the morning. You'll be hardpressed to find a more romantic spot. I'd go for Mix and the good ol' ring-in-the-champagne-glass approach. Just make sure none of the beer chicks are around or you might have to spend 12-24 hours in the bathroom stalls to recover the ring. Mazel tow!
Great that the government at least is trying to put some weight against raging capitalism when it potentially can devastate the ecology and environment in 3 provinces. Doubt it is more than a short intermission on the other hand.
Went there yesterday and it totally made my week. Nice decor and friendly staff and a real salad bar. Sadly we both wanted mexican food so I can't really say much about their other courses. The food was great but just a tad spicier would have improved the dish. The best thing was that we almost had the place to ourselves and we could have a quiet conversation without shouting, spitting Chinese people in the background. I realised how much I had missed that since coming here.
We went to Chicago Coffee a couple of days ago and it was a nice experience. The place is cozy with soft comfy chairs (I realized how much I have missed one since coming here) and they have a nice little collection of English language books in the corner consisting mainly of classics and travel litterature. I was looking forward to trying their advertized tortilla bar but it wasn't up and running that evening.
Instead we went for 2 12 inch pizzas -roast chicken and pepperoni- but we quickly realized that 1 would have been enough. Those things are heavy. I am mainly into Italian style pizza but Chicago's double layered pizzas are well worth a try. Their coffee seems to be a bit on the expensive side but people say good things about it and they have got a nice selection. I wouldn't mind dropping by again some day,, hopefully when they've got the tortilla thing going. English speaking staff btw.
