As I mentioned in my last post, I'm in China this week for work. Beijing to be exact. The heart of the beast, some would say. Life is very different here, although some of the differences have more to do with being in a city of 10-12 million people vs the Triangle. Not that there are nearly so many bikes in Manhattan (probably wouldn't hurt though!)
My Lenovo colleagues have been typically gracious hosts, treating us to a couple of excellent meals. The food is radically different though - and very good, especially, I find, if you don't insist on asking what everything is before eating it. I've decided that when your Chinese host says "I don't know how to translate the name of that food," it really means "you don't want to know".
Definitely no chickens were harmed in the writing of this post... nor, unfortunately, in the making of my dinner.
