Unloading Day!
24 OctUnloading the #bokchoy trucks at the restaurant! I’ve never seen so much bok choy in my life – it was packed when they started unloading. 😯 Bok choy is such a staple of their food culture, people will pay thousands of dollars for a life size jade bok choy statue for their family rooms.In America, we express bountiful harvests through cornucopias or wheat bushels. They show it with bok choy 😄

Rude!
17 OctOK. . . Who locked up Mr. Hogswine in the liquor box? That’s just cruel! 😂🍸This is oddly effective marketing 😂
Taste Buds Beware!
15 Oct#Confession – Most of my phone gallery are pictures of random Chinese things I need to translate to save myself. E.g. to know the difference between microspicy and ‘it’s too spicy’ 😂😂😂
Floral Masonry
10 OctOne of my favorite mediums of art is Asian stonework c whether statues or the many scupltures woven into temples and palaces, I never fail to be impressed. 💕
What’s your go to snack?
9 Oct#Chinese c-store treats include corn on the cob and tea soaked duck eggs. 😃 It’s funny to me how concepts of what constitutes a ‘treat’ changes culture to culture.
WHAT’S YOUR GO TO C-STORE SNACK?
Far as the Eye Can See

CCTV Tower
4 OctChecked out the #CCTV Tower in #Beijing yesterday, and it turned out to be a GORGEOUS day for it! Was going to go to the forbidden city, but changed our minds . . . glad we did, this trip was perfect. Great view, clear skies, and not too many people 💕 90RMB TICKET (without meal at revolving restaurant or undersea world).
Take line 1 or 10 to Gongzhufen Station (exit A). Follow map directions to cross over to the bus station (about 5 minute walk). Take any of the buses shown (437 is 1 stop, 977 is 2 stops) the correct number of stops. Get off and see the tower!
