It’s only mid-November and this place is freezing. It’s one to ten degrees celsius today, even with the sun.

So tomorrow we’ll be off to where the sun’s heating system is on, full blast, year-round, and drown our stomach and intestines in coconut milk from curries. And whatever else.

And, as this reporter put it sarcastically on the Straits Times’ blog:

When I invite friends back home to visit me here in Beijing, they usually turn me down. The most common excuse is that there is nothing safe to eat.

That is just nonsense. As long as you steer clear of milk, chocolates, cookies, ice-cream, fish, poultry, pork, eggs and oranges, Beijing is a real food paradise.

Haha. So we’ll be feeding ourselves what we’ve been deprived of and attempt to neutralize whatever poison we’ve been consuming.

Or buy some and sell them to hypochondriac foreigners here.

Will also be stocking up on curry pastes and fabulous ikan bilis. Tell me if you want some, I’ll be having web access when I’m in Bangkok.
