My Christmas Dinner

Sorry more than two photos today. It makes up for the days when there aren't any.

Christmas Cake

At the Duck Restaurant

Ho, ho, ho - there's plenty of Christmas spirit in Jinan

A Choir

At the Jinan Sofitel

Our Tree

Australian Cigarette Packs

Here's a friend's cigarette pack from Australia. They go the extra mile in trying to dissuade smokers by putting gross pictures of the results of smoking. Obviously, it's not enough to dissuade my friend.

New Restaurant

A new franchise restaurant in the neighborhood. Yes, China's changing. I still prefer the family owned places.

Pig's Feet

I don't need to ask what these are. I'm not brave enough to try one.

Love

 

At the Butcher's

 

I'm rather squeamish and don't want to know what these are.

A Big Buddha

Noodles

Heat

Not everyone uses coal, but some still do.

Shopping at RT Mart

They soon made me stop taking photos inside this grocery store.

FYI - Its owned by a Taiwanese company, which is partly owned by the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's political party.

"Tis the Season

Even in Jinan - here's our Christmas tree.
