Thursday's trivia

Hiya,
You can all stop looking for an affordable toaster costing less than a Chinese bicycle...found one, made in China (toaster not bike). I can now add variety to breakfasts with toast or quick cheese on toast snacks, to supplement Rice Bubbles or Cornflakes and yogurt. To go on my toast I have a berry style red jam "cupie jam" which Jen, Deb, Hoa, Catherine will know from Chinese breakfast options. I found some wholemeal bread ( unsweetened) and invested in the nicest honey I have tasted in ages. On a "gut feeling" I bought some Chinese Xin Zhi Yuan Bee Product with dichotomous factor (?!). The box indicates that it is "Produced under strict biological technological process." Its also good for the young, the middle aged (oh hello pick me) and the elderly-not quite yet thanks. It's an ideal choice for those who overeat spicy food, stay up late and an antidote to a whole gruesome description of digestive ailments. It's really runny so I think it will escape my toast but all the honey was runny (I think they use it for drink additive not food topping). Its 88% something...10% natural honey and 1% each from lotus seed and leaf. A bigger adventure than imported French runny honey for a similar price. It cost 1/3rd of the toaster so I hope I haven't blown my hard earned RMB. I could always follow the drinking instructions and add to tea or water. Stay tuned, I'll let you know.... on more strange food adventures.

Forgot to say two new Foreign teachers started this week, 2 guys from Canada adding a new dynamic to the teachers' office with 4 foreign teachers + DOS and 3 local teachers creating a traffic jam at times and some creative scheduling for similar resources. With all of us teaching at once the centre is fairly lively with good natured noise and cries of no Chinese, this is an English school!

Cheers.
