@ landskroenerdj1: Check here, but there is also a wechat group, though I'm not on it. We haven't had any meetings lately and the thing has sort of faded due to so many people showing up who haven't read the book and who then participate in the choosing of the next book we will read and then they show up at the next meeting and haven't read that one either.

To hell with Otto Melon: I'LL GIVE YOU 18 and throw in all my old DVDs free - BUT ONLY IF YOUR STUFF INCLUDES AT LEAST 3 BALLPOINT PENS THAT ARE AT LEAST HALF FULL, as my six are all about to run dry.
I also need a good pencil, as mine is now rather short. And I will need instructions concerning this new wechat thing.

Really, Kongming, you should know by now: it was once thought that machines should be made responsible to the needs of human beings; but since machines have no sense of responsibility, it has long been understood that it is the responsibility of human beings to conform to the needs of machines. Anyone who has ever thought about the layout of a modern city - especially the transportation sector - or has attempted to converse with an electronic entity, should know this.

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.
