Taicang Dinner
Got this shot of a dinner at our Kindie.
You can see that we’ve switched to fish here. After the spate of recent poisonings, pigs and bird flu.
This is the government issue meal which looks very delicious.
The thing on the left is an apple.
On the right we have a healthy helping of fish heads. These are more tasty than they look. And they do look…. but don’t let that put you off 
In China lets get some Chinese food, (except here its just called food):
Do you fancy Sweet and Sour Pork 糖醋里脊?
-but pork is off the menu since 16000 dead pigs washed up in the city’s river.
Okaaaay lets get some Gong Bao Chicken宫保鸡丁?
-erm… about that, Chicken is off too since bird flu killed 20 folk this week.
Fine then, how about Peking Duck 北京烤鸭?
-actually all poultry is out!
Fuck it!
I tried your culture…. it doesn’t suit me.
Sunday Meal
With some members of Linestart.
Had been out doing interviews at potential new school contract with the other members of Linestart pictured here.
No bad fish
This was a kind of fish dish, which you have to very careful not to choke to death on. The bones are sharp and plentiful. I’m not usually tempted by this kind of fish, just because of the bad experiences I’ve had in the past (a lot like women). This time I stayed away also.
Spinning table
We had some other dishes on the rotating table, a pork and peppers with Sichuan sauce, bitter cucumber and egg, green beans and chilli’s, as well as some jasmine tea, rice and a prawn and Sichuan sauce style dish.
It was very much like Sichuan.
Didn’t over eat, and went home to do my lesson plans.
