So, here I go...
This is a picture of my 10rmb (1.5usd) dinner, which I have decided to order delivery again (I've actually ordered quite often since I discovered them). Bitter melon fried with egg and rice. A simple, yet very tasty dish.
On the topic of food, for a snack, I usually just pick up this fried vegetable wrap from the local supermarket for 0.35usd each. Susan, Sirena... think of the hours saved from working in the backyard and in the kitchen making these "turtle-vegetable-cakes" from scratch (Chao Zhou joke - no, there are no turtles in it :P)!
Ever wonder what McMaster Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/) would be like if it were a physical building? There's an area Hua Qiang Lu, 3 metro stops away from my apartment, that is just that. You could walk around with a circuit you wanted to build or with materials shopping list and buy whatever you want. Here's a picture of one section of one floor of a bunch of buildings that are just as crowded. That's not even counting people on the street trying to sell printer inks or other random things.
I took this picture a while back while Chris and I were walking around. I decided to post it since I liked the happy kid and the KFC delivery bikes.
