It’s freezing cold out here in Hangzhou. Not quite as cold as Beijing, but much much colder than it is in Singapore. Given that, I felt all Christmasy and have decided to put up an early Christmas photo of my dog and the Christmas Tree. It’s from last year, but she’s so cute, I can’t resist.
These are undoubtedly the best eggtarts in Shanghai. Lilian’s- at 3-3.50RMB. You gotta eat them while they’re hot though. Flakiest crust and softest filling!
The bohemian art scene is all but bohemian now. Quite sanitized, even the graffiti is government sanctioned. Sad, but true. The art still looks great mind you, but somehow something is taken away when its all controlled. This rhinoceros that sits just outside the sprawling complex of warehouses, to me, says it all — the real thing has been replaced with a hollow, hole-filled sculpture, all gutted out, bullet ridden, dead as a door nail with not even a carcass to show for it.
