"yet I hear not a single voice of PUBLICIZED reason from the Islamic clergy and THAT is irresponsible AND heretical also."

It is likely not something that would be reported in the current media frenzy.

@tallamerican
It is unfair to make generalizations about Muslims, based on the loud voice of extremists that will feed the media frenzy.

Forums > Food & Drink > Wheat Grass???

I believe wheat grass is a pest species, and not harvested.
If it is what I think it is, it springs up on other patches of grass and between bricks in pathways and at the roadside. This would make it free, but seasonal, and you would have to pick it yourself. It is easy to recognise as it is light in colour, about 12-18" tall and the heads look like an ear of wheat.
Avoid taking from the roadside due to pollution from vehicle exhausts.

Forums > Study > Is it worth learning to write Hanzi?

There are over 3500 basic Chinese characters. Characters are rarely words, they are individual syllables that also have meaning, as well as a sound.
There are some single character words, but most words are more than one syllable.

Just doing the maths, I get more than 2000 words. My daughters Chinese school dictionary has more more than 500 pages with more than 4 entries per page. Go figure.

Off topic, but related to theme songs. When we watched terrestrial TV we listened to the whole theme, even if only in the background while we quickly made a cup of tea or finished off some other chore. With streaming, or watching box sets, we quickly FF over the theme song and titles. We are missing a lot of great music.
Everything else said by the last two posters can be captured within the idea that we no longer live in a society, we live in a market.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
