Ben: March 2008 Archives
The blog has a new look! Yes I finally got rid of my old MT 3.3 templates and got some real MT 4 stuff. It comes with an annoying CAPTCHA that you will have to fill out if you want to leave a comment, but this is necessary because I was getting a lot of spam before. Sorry anyway.
Without further ado, I present the cute cat:
It was spotted in a coffee shop (Sculpting In Time) in the north west of Beijing a few weeks ago, drinking from faucets, lying in the sun, and generally being cute.
I found these two pictures kicking around on my harddrive, and I liked them, so I decided to upload them and make a post about them. Both are about chuanr, which is basically just meat on a stick.
The chuanr pictured here were observed very close to the pingguoyuan (apple garden) subway station. There was no apple garden anywhere to be found, just people, shops, and chuanr.
Chuanr are incredibly abundant in Beijing, typically of the lamb/mutton variety, and ranging in cost from tiny little ones that cost 0.5 RMB, to the ones pictured which were 5 RMB, and probably higher, though I haven't personally seen any chuanr more expensive than that yet.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is a Wikipedia article on chuanr, though it is not really very interesting or useful.
