Not for the first time, I post from the people's republic of China. Not even the debates forum, or people posting anti Chinese stuff in my thread (2024, I think) could make the bamboo wall give a shoot enough to block the site...I am using a VPN this time though, so I might be wrong but I doubt it.
4 weeks of lovely food, strange looks, and culture differences...bloody great it is. Even managed to watch YouTube and check my Gmail (thanks express VPN).
Gan Bei !!!

Originally posted by @fmf"likes a drink" in Shenyang city alone, narrows it down to about 7million people lol. Might be less in Shanghai.
Likes a drink or two, too.
I miss real cow's milk.

Bingo.
It's a small world.

(The glaring mistakes in that last statement was of course, that first it would not be likely that Zhang Wei had a brother due to the one child policy, and secondly Zhang's brother would also be called "Zhang" as the family name comes first in Chinese naming. But, I'm sure that was too obvious to mention...and it wouldn't have helped with the joke by being accurate)
