AIDS Kebabs 2
Thursday, 24 April 2008 2:21 P GMT+08
More than a month after China Mobile sent out an SMS warning people of AIDS / HIV laced kebabs (see here), the Xinjiang government have finally woken up after whatever banquet they were at and decided to issue a statement.
Noodle Sense
Wednesday, 23 April 2008 1:38 P GMT+08
Following on from my recent post entitled "Noodle Nonsense", I am delighted to bring you the news that, despite the animosity between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, they are occasionally able to come together.
Faux Food
Sunday, 20 April 2008 10:10 A GMT+08
I had an interesting meal a few days ago. I am a dedicated carnivore and tend to regard vegetarians with deep suspicion.
Noodle Nonsense
Friday, 11 April 2008 1:31 P GMT+08
There I was eating my Chicken Giblets Fried Noodles when I got to thinking about the noodle chopstick problem.
Can it.
Thursday, 20 March 2008 3:10 P GMT+08
From time to time, I interrupt my usual liquid diet and try some of the lumpy stuff - food
Serve Somebody
Sunday, 16 March 2008 3:10 P GMT+08
I've been taking a trip down memory lane - and it was fun.
AIDS Kebabs
Saturday, 15 March 2008 10:00 P GMT+08
This is utterly bizarre. My cell phone service provider, China Mobile, sends out daily news digests by SMS. Yesterday they send me a most unusual and somewhat sinister story.
70s Commune Bar Culture Study Centre
Sunday, 2 March 2008 4:16 P GMT+08
I?ve never been one for Liuzhou?s bars. Most of them are overpriced hell holes playing loud dance music and selling bad drinks to drunken 15 year olds. Or drunken 30 year olds acting like drunken 15 year olds. So, last night, when I was invited out f
Tragedy
Saturday, 1 March 2008 6:42 P GMT+08
I'm in shock. I had to have a lie down. I received some terrible news.
Cabbage Tolls
Sunday, 24 February 2008 12:18 A GMT+08
It is impossible to travel by road in China without running into one of these every few miles.
¥0.8888888888888 per movie
Sunday, 17 February 2008 1:23 P GMT+08
One thing which keeps me relatively sane, here is the easy access to western movies.
Fire, Snow and Smokes
Friday, 15 February 2008 1:28 P GMT+08
One of Liuzhou Prefecture’s main crops is sugar cane. In fact we are in the centre of one of the world’s largest sugar cane producing areas. You can buy sticks of it everywhere – a poor man’s candy. Can’t stand the stuff myself.
Hot tips!
Thursday, 14 February 2008 12:58 P GMT+08
Out of pure generosity, I am going to pass on a couple of tips.
Arsenic and Chillies
Monday, 11 February 2008 1:49 P GMT+08
While searching for something totally different today, I came across this rather worrying company.
Stoned Pigs
Monday, 11 February 2008 11:10 A GMT+08
Here is a nice picture from the local rag showing the good people of Liuzhou lining up to purchase their pork in the local market. Why do they have this photo? An article about the rising price of pork?
Stamp Collecting
Tuesday, 5 February 2008 5:06 P GMT+08
Like most people in China, I do most of my cooking on one of these. In fact, this is my new one! Bought it today! The old one died. One of the legs on the pan holder snapped off. The cold killed it.
Rat Banquet
Saturday, 2 February 2008 3:03 P GMT+08
Last night, Liuzhou government held a reception to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year - The Year of the Rat. I managed to infiltrate the proceedings.
Seems Like a Freeze Out
Wednesday, 30 January 2008 1:57 P GMT+08
You couldn?t make it up.
Here I am sitting, shivering my pieces off in the coldest winter in living memory.
Winterlude

It could get quiet round this blog for the next week or three. There are various reasons for this.
Plunging into Christmas
Wednesday, 26 December 2007 2:30 A GMT+08
Well, I survived the great blog and bog blocks. Christmas morning arrived in its usual glory. The lane alarm ladies woke everyone up at 6 am by yelling to each other from opposite ends of the lane.
Western food woes
Friday, 14 December 2007 1:44 P GMT+08
Liuzhou has an unfortunate history as far as western food is concerned. Western food restaurants come and go faster than steroid fuelled Olympic athletes. We have had all sorts.
Clean Those Greens
Wednesday, 21 November 2007 8:57 P GMT+08
What you see on the right is the sign above one of my favourite local restaurants. It is a kind of Sichuan type place.
