I remember seeing old barrels being used to prepare food on the roadside in Shanghai. Is that the way to prepare 油条? I never actually took a proper look or even bought something from those street vendors. Fortunately, there was quite some nice vegetarian bakery selling croissants and stuff near to where we lived.

After listening to this show, I immediately had to dig out my flashcards and read something in Chinese. Btw: What colour is envy in Chinese? [In German it's green, English yellow, French dunno ...] I'd turn that colour if I knew!

Aric: Please say "Viele Grüße aus Deutschland!" (Best wishes from Germany!) to your girlfriend. Doesn't she miss Berlin?? Does she love Shanghai like we did/ do? Do you happen to know this Beijing Bubbles documentary film (viz http://www.beijing-bubbles.com) about Chinese punk rock bands? Some of them actually toured Germany.

What about renewing a Chinese driver's licence after my residence permit has expired? Would a multiple entry visa help or someone to vouch for you? My former danwei??

Nice pic for the lesson: two guys staring at a bulky CRT monitor with one of them holding a piece of tractor feed paper in his hand - probably a dot matrix printout. Oh yes, those were the days!
