Jeremy and Luke eating dried eel and 3-mushroom dish with Tsingtao, Shànghǎi, China — December 26, 2003
Other meals I like include wu hua rou, or 5-flower pork

A fridge full of Tsingtao and Suntory, Shànghǎi, China — December 26, 2004
We threw a house party this night and stocked the fridge full of cans of beer. There was not much selection at the store so guests had to make due with either Tsingtao or Suntory, both very fine examples of Asian beer.

Jeremy and Ni, the tallest man in China — December 27, 2003
By the way, Ni was kneeling for this shot. Moments after, a funny thinkg happened at 1:00 AM, when security came to breakup the party. Ni immediately took charge. He went to the door and spoke with the guards. As he spoke, surpirse grew in the gaurds eyes and they quickly left. I didn’t even have time to offer them a Qīngdǎo. I wonder what Ni mentioned to the guards at the time; perhaps he was part of the bigger Party in China, and used some clout? We will never know.

Fishballs 魚蛋 at the 24-hour store, Shànghǎi, China — January 8, 2004
They sell these water-heated fish and meatballs at most every convenience store in China. At first glance, they seem a bit uninviting. Yet, after a night on the town, when all else is closed, these nourishing morsels really come to the rescue. Kindly avoid if the water is not steaming hot or if there are less than 8 skewers left in the broth.
