Laziness, Coffee Cups and Respectable Members

Sorry, been lazy. Ramadan gets you that way. Never mind, only ten days to go and then I can enjoy beer in a glass rather than drinking from coffee mugs!

I was checking through photographs that I have taken recently and one quite appealed to me. On my last visit to China I had to get an offer printed for submission to my customer and in the print shop window there were examples of the type of design and print capabilites offered.

There was one for a massage parlour which stuck out.........

 

Being politicaly correct I shall refrain from any comments about the respectable members size!

In other news, I see the standards in my hotel had improved!



And I am sure the Chinese Authorities knew I was in town...

Nee how, Nae Dug

Arrived in Beijing late on Friday night and when I was guzzling some breakfast before my trip back to the airport, this headline stood out..

Sale of Dog Meat Banned during Olympics.

The canine cuisine has been struck from the menus of officially designated Olympic restaurants and Beijing tourism officials are telling other outlets to discourage consumers from ordering dishes made from dogs.

Waiters and waitresses should "patiently" suggest other options to diners who order dog, it said, quoting city tourism bureau Vice Director Xiong Yumei.

Dog, known in Chinese as "xiangrou," or "fragrant meat," is eaten for its purported health-giving qualities.

I know that In Sichuan I have been offered it and basically declined (Ah'm no fucking eating that - with the Scottish accent even the interpreter did not understand but the body language worked)

Dogs in China can apparently breathe easy for another couple off weeks before open season starts again!
