Two Teas I've Never Tried Before

Chocolate tea

Chocolate tea. Tasted like a mixture of tea and ice chocolate.

Honey lemon black tea

Honey lemon black tea. Taste very … delicious. ;-)

Long Noodles

Noodles

I’m getting used to chopsticks but this was hardly eatable. The noodles were too long and slippery.

Another Restaurant

Chinese restaurant

Dirty glasses and a foil on top of the tablecloth.

But the food was good:

Very good vegetarian food, 30 Yuan.

Banana Boat

Banana Boat, 30 Yuan.

Bikes

Our bikes survived their first day out.

Small Noodles

Small Noodles

I’ve heard that these noodles should be better than the larger ones but couldn’t tell the noodle man to make me some. Today he was cooking them for a woman so I had the chance to also try some. They are good.

Why is there a dog on the sign?

Lunch Off Campus

Chinese arabic food

Chinese Arabic food. Wow, this was really good.

Cleanup

Cafeteria

I seem to eat the same things every day. Rice and something green. This time there was just a small piece of meat in it, a fruit fly.

Cafeteria

A classmate chose tofu and egg.

The problem: The egg contained a larger quantity of meat which ended up here, together with all the other unappetizing things that have been lying on our table:

Noodles with tofu. I took two bites of the tofu and decided to only eat the noodles.

Mao in front of the library. It was the first time I noticed that the two towers of library seem to hover above the lower building.

Wumei

No Pizza in Wumei

It’s not possible to take a pizza into Wumei. They put it in a locker and you get a ticket like this one.

Incorrect scale

I’m not the heaviest person on the planet but this scale is definitely wrong.

Extension cord
Not a plastic bag

Not a plastic bag.

Schnaps with 50 % by volume…

Shopping

The first things I bought for my new room.

Stamp

They like (red) stamps here. It was the first time I’ve gotten one on leaving a supermarket.

Dangerous Tea?

Tea

Tea that you get for free at most restaurants (if they don’t serve hot water). I’m still unsure whether it’s bottled or tap water. The tea makes it hard to taste the chlorine but I often think they just cook the tap water. That might kill bacteria but not remove the chemicals.

It’s also not so easy to drink only the fluid not the tealeaves. A Chinese friend suggested to blow on the surface. Works. Kind of.
