Income from these book sales will be used to finance future trips for Salvador's staff, is that right? A worthy cause, but I think it should be made clear.

Year of the Goat

发布者

Seems to me it's the year of the 'yang', and that there is no stable translation of this general category word in English, or in many languages - in English we are always forced to make a choice that is only sometimes sometimes necessary in Chinese.
Categories of thought are sometimes affected differently by different languages.
Counter example: English, 'couson'; Chinese, biaomei, bioajie, biaoge, biaodi, tangmei, tangjie, tangge, tangdi.

Year of the Goat

Personally I prefer the goat, unless I'm going to eat it.

Sounds like an interesting place to visit - anybody have any ideas of what it might be like to live there?

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
