Had dinner out last night at the Mainland China Restaurant in Church Street. We went with Mike's boss Samy and three IT testers from Shanghai - Yang, Elinor and Oliver. Very nice and authentic Chinese food although some dishes were new to our guests. I particularly liked the duck in pancakes and a sesame toast topped with crabmeat and peanuts - Yum! It was nice to meet some more of Mike's workmates and enjoyed their company very much. We had some discussion about the iced Lychee drink I was having and decided it was a fruit they knew as Laychow (I think) from southern china and obviously not as popular there as it is elsewhere.
Just caught a quick snap of a woman selling vegetables balancing a basket on her head - very impressive. She moves quickly and with ease, calling out something that must mean fresh vegetables! You will need to look closely at the photo - she is next to the black car. Quite a pleasant view from our verandah.
