Did a free test at a shopping mall today. Whole process took less than half an hour. Result came in about 5 hours later. No problems.
No test required at Metro South and Walmart. Strict control on masks and entry scanning however.
When I BING Ginger Melon I get fruit melons and dolls with ginger hair.
When I BING 姜柄瓜 I get this pumpkin.
At the moment this vegetable is in season but I never found the name for it in English.
Since I cant post pictures here I include a link to a Taobao page that sells them so you can have a look.
Google translate comes up with "Ginger Handle Melon" but I doubt that that is the real name for them.
And since we are at it; what is the name for this one:

It might be Chayote (Sechium edule) (aka Mirliton in Louisiana)
No results found.

37% of Kunming university students consider plastic surgery
Posted bySomebody seems to be reading this blog because the horrible androids have been replaced in my elevator with a more human looking model in a for the rest same advertisement.
The website of mylike still has the androids on it. One even in a very irritating overlay but then in a mirror image.

In the elevator of my apartment block there is, since a few days, hanging an advertisement of Mylike aesthetic medicine which looks to be offering cosmetic surgery. On it the usual before and after pictures of two girls. As usual both are Photoshopped for maximal effect. Before a girl with a very strange shape of the face and a terrible skin condition and of course rather brown. After a scare synthetic construction with a milk white skin without a single blemish. The after shots are so Photoshopped that they become caricatures. Every time I am in the elevator I can't stop myself from looking at it because it is so hideous. Still I try to remember the name because even after the most terrible accident and with a completely burned face I still don't want to receive cosmetic surgery at this place.

You are mistaken there. It is not only foreigners that have the 500 kuai deposit, everybody who borrows none Chinese books has to pay this. If foreigners only wish to borrow Chinese books they pay the standard deposit.
The value of the books you borrow is not allowed to surpass your deposit. This means that I am regularly restricted in the amount of books I can borrow so I wish I could pay even a higher deposit but this is apparently not possible.
