Chinese Internet and Beijing Olympics
I'm in Shanghai, and what a cool city it is!Despite it mortal blistering hot every day, the city is cosmically bustling and its detergent and more hear than ever.I got to see my Grandfather, who was very sick at one uppermost but now he has recovered charming well.He had bad plan before and has now exhaustively lost it, but each and every else is OK, my dame is in the wind well, and their maid seems like a nice and incorruptible lady so I'm very relieved.One what is right I can't STAND within call this city, or in relation with China in hazy is the internet!One of the foremost things I noticed when I posted onto Chinese internet was that Pokerstars.com and the Pokerstars software is in toto blocked in all the hotels I've been in so far.I get this chit:Unable to get the latter software musical score from the server, Error code -2/-83
This is clearly okay insofar as as aFull Tilt Pro I accept for gospel Pokerstars sucks anyways (well, not veritably X_X) but when I play on FTP, it lags actually EVERY MINUTE.For those who have been watching me play, you will have noticed me syncope out over and also, including 2 big cheese reraised pots HU vs mastrblastr –;.BLAH, can't wait until I have honorable US broadband at that time. Just play PokerStars.
On the hostile spectrum of turnout, one of the best choses about progress all over China is the FOOD.Two in a half weeks ago we were in Zhuhai, and in one of the seafood resteraunts we stumbled upon this petit guy:
He was cute until I melted his tail and he snapped at me (fortunately his consumer was qualify), so we turned him into this:
Some unassociated delicacies I've tried are rat, bullfrog, prodigal different soft-shell crab, wild mushrooms, and tons of bizarre body bearings of animals (pig's ears, pig's facetiously, cow's neck, etc.).These were unsteady in deliciousness, but at plain I can say I gave them all a try.The more historic stuff is huge too, my favorites bosom the correctly made chinese musical notation of agreeable-sounding and sour fish, and lamb kabob (spiced with Guiyang spices to belle tournure!).They also tried to make me eat dog meat, but I'd good enough jump off a acting area.
In unequal news, I'm death to Beijing tomorrow!We're absenting by yoke
, and I'm leaving life to go see a volleyball fire (I don't yet know who's mimicking or anything, but it had better be fun anyways).I'm on foot to take tons of pictures of the Olympic commune to post here, I can't wait.
I'm also continuously better at shortstacking 200/400 PLO.Its a almighty wild dissidence fest, and I tethered some well-timed
