There is no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothes. At least my mother always used to say that and but I still don't belive her. The good thing is that you can grab an umbrella from any random girl in the street,, they only use them in sunshine.
A Swedish guy wrote: "I should know. I used to bury people... anyone in need of my services?"
I was wondering how the Swedish mafia was doing these days with the increased competition from the Russians and the other gangs. What exactly do you guys do? I assume it involves smuggling fish and IKEA furniture as well as trafficking Swedes out of the country for a better life. Was it you who burried Palme? Come on you can spill the beans here,, It'll stay between you and me.
Tinfoil hat alert!!!
There is very little chance of stopping this thing anyway so it's probably going to infect hundreds of million of people all over the world and especially in China where people live so close and personal space is non existant. The good thing is that the strain seems not to be as lethal as predicted. Now where can I fend a doctor who I can bribe to prescribe me some Tamiflu,,
You can get blackberries at the market south of 小西门. I hear they are really good,, 8 元 a kilo.
No results found.
The comment from Chris had deserved a wider audience. Beluga?
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.
Yunnan spirulina tainted with lead
Posted byI know China has a hard time taking a much need Great Leap Forward on Chinese medicine but being allowed to market products with ",,a weight loss product, a palliative for heart disease, an anti-cancer agent and as a health supplement for pregnant women." without documentation and scientific testing is just plain wrong. A former co-worker of mine still has a 3 page folder on some sort of fish extract from Guangdong. He used to joke that it was easier to list the diseases that the stuff DIDN'T cure, according to said folder.

Charcuterie: Taking food safety into one's own hands
Posted byMy parents used to do that. Split it with another family so they'd have half a pig to charcuterie,,charcute,, cut up and deposit in the freezer. I remember it took the better part of a day, but definitely worth considering around these parts. Mind if I ask how much you guys had to fork (ho ho) over for 200 kilos of Porky?
Forgotten British consulate getting Chinese facelift
Posted byMust have walked past that gate a handful of times not noticing anything inside. I'll go there tomorrow to take a look I think. @Jarhead: I'm not sure where Chris has his info from but according to the locals here Tengchong fell without much fighting inside the city limits so it's at least a reasonable assumption to think that the Japanese made their last stand in one of the few solid stone structures of the period at the time of Tengchong's liberation, hence were subjected to a lot of rifle fire with possibly a few rounds of small size shells thrown in.
Interview: Fried Feige
Posted byAh yes. Waking up after a cheap vodka fest in a corn field in Kaplachistan. Nothing quite like it. I remember Fried vividly from the Hump. Spent many a drunken night watching his table-dancing, glass juggling, chair-surfing antics. Good times indeed.
