No pig corpses yet, other than on hooks in the shop fronts, but I have been passed in the street by a lady carrying a sack, poking out the two holes where the bottom corners had been snipped off big enough to pass a head, but small enough to keep the body in, were a ducks head and a roosters head... both very much alive and looking around as she trotted past.
I've been eyeing the live fish in the supermarkets, wondering which to try next
I got a chunk of catfish last time, maybe the pointy nosed type with black and yellow zebra pattern will be next
I've bought one of those little one-person roaster ovens since they don't have real ovens in China... and no roasting pans to fit in the oven, just pizza pans... So I have a stack of disposable/recyclable aluminium pans and some tinfoil.... Baked fish for dinner soon, as soon as I find some Chervil, Parsley and Chives...
but coffee, my main addition, is EXPENSIVE, there are teapots here, teapots there, here a teapot, there a teapot... SHOPS full of teapots, but nary a coffee plunger to be found until I chased down a Starbucks and held up the staff
Sure, there is Instant in the stores... But c'mon, Instant coffee is like Cyber-Sex... passable if there is nothing else available, Just not as good as the REAL thing.
Back on topic however... to work out what the strange things they say mean, I have found it useful to break it back down into the root word, the chinese girls here keep trying to get ahead of themselves in using English, and when the expand on their vocabulary by adding suffixes or prefixes, they can really create some malapropisms.
So she is likely in a job the requires her to be hospitable to people, as mentioned, likely a service industry of some sort.
