chinasmack is blocked too. Not the BBC though. There is an interesting slideshow to watch: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8078746.stm but it's probably only a matter of time before it is cut off as well.
I doubt educated people here would claim Korea as "part of the mainland". I could be wrong though,, I once read a nutter post from a guy who believed China had the right to claim Western Asia all the way to Hungary because the Mongols (who ofcourse also are "Chinese") once conquered it. Nothing really suprises me here any longer.
If you are born in the US and is an American citizen then you are an American and not an ABC. I think those terms are derogatory and a part of the usual "Remember that you are Chinese first of all" crap that BLIIIP promotes a lot.
I didn't think you could get blueberries in Kunming. 25 kuai for 150 g might be a little high. Does anyone know where to buy some of the ordinary non-organic ones? I've never seen them at the greengroces I have been to.
If you wanna feel all local and stuff get a bolt cutter and prowl the streets early morning. Plenty of available second hand bikes to be found.
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.
Illegal 'gutter oil' operation casts shadow on Kunming food safety
Posted byFor many years now "Enjoy the food, don't look at the kitchen" has been my favourite saying regarding Chinese food. How about the government tackling the rising unemployment rate by training 20.000 health inspectors and giving them some rules and regulations to enforce?

Getting Away: Chongqing
Posted by"It really was like a little piece of Kundu in Chongqing." Ho ho ho. Btw, isn't the 35 million including the entire municipality? I've read and heard that the city itself should number around half of them, ergo Shanghai is still China's largest city. Great and informative article.
