TITLE: WHOLE-WHEAT AND CHINGLISH
LOCATION: 河西区大沽南路金海湾花园1-28-404
MISSION: SPEND A DAY IN TIANJIN
DATE: 2011-09-16
I woke rather late today and was surprised by the small buffet Xu Jia's parents had prepared for me for breakfast. They are really sweet and had even got me whole-wheat bread and fresh milk (real milk!). Is it just me or is it quite funny that this "milti-grain dark toast" is just regular bread coloured dark brown and with some grain sprinkled on top? It becomes kind of obvious when they don't mix the dough properly... Xu Jia's parents even saved some mooncakes from the Mid-Autumn Festival this monday for me. All days starting with Chinglish are bound to be good days. After breakfast I took a small walk around the neighbourhood and then to an electronics store on a mission to find a new card reader. It turned out that CompactFlash is not the most widely supported format in China. When I got back it was pretty much time for dinner. Together with Xu Jia's uncle and his wife (the couple in the middle) we went to the restaurant "Private Chef". Appart from a small dispute with one of the waiters about the menue (the difference between the pictures in the menue and what ended up on our table was rather big), we all had a great time.
