The #Chinese concept of #icecream and my idea of a delicious treat are not the same π This was a Chinese popsicle my student likes – green tea with a red bean filling. Somehow not quite the same as good old fashioned Chocolate π

#Spicy beef and bamboo sprout #soup with noodles. Traditional Chinese dish here in Henan- made from #spices that numb your mouth :p
βI’ve been sick today so I was playing on Taobao and found these adorable/hilarious dollhouse items. If You’ve ever lived in China you’d know how accurate these images are π Down to the cheap Chinese prngle alternatives (they look exactly like that!), cooke tins, and Green tea Oreo knockoffs π. I’ve been Coke Zero free for more than a month, but those bottles are so funny. And the fanta soda. π

Liquor for a dollhouse! π
Haha! π I want this for myself. This is Awesome – and only $27 on Taobao! (189οΏ₯). I think the tail is the pillow!

Happy Lantern Festival! Tonight is the night (15 days after #ChineseNewYear ) when the Chinese light paper lanterns and send them up to the sky.
My picture wasn’t very good π I’ll post a better one later. But the #moon sure was pretty! Here in Zhengzhou, we have the highest smog records for the country, so the moon is a rare night. Today was perfect for the festival! Clear skies, brisk air, and a good wind. π
Wishing you all the best and a great upcoming year! π

Haha!π Visited a 5β hotel this weekend and found that the bathroom was entirely see-through. Embarassing, no?!? Asked my students why and got this lovely response ‘Many hotels in China do this. It’s very common. Because sometimes the men, they come with a strange woman. Or two. Or different ones. And when they go to the bathroom, all their money is taken. So this way they can see and be safe.’ π π That’s hilarious. A five star hotel arranges its bathroom around keeping rich men safe from their ‘women’. Sad. Very, very sad. #lifeinchina #china #travel #humor #abroad, #whataworld
ββA real #American breakfast! π΄ In #China, donuts that taste like real donuts and CHEESE! are so hard to come by. We’ll pay a fortune just for a good old-fashioned meal once in a while. The Chinese usually eat soup, dumplings, fried bread, or salad for breakfast, which isn’t my cup of tea. But we’re staying at the Hilton for a couple days – in China, the nice hotels have both an American and a Chinese buffet – makes for quite the array! π
