Chinese Internet and Beijing Olympics
I'm in Shanghai, and what a cool city it is!Despite it extant blistering hot every day, the city is ever and anon bustling and its cleaning woman and more elegant than ever.I got to see my Grandfather, who was very sick at one detail but now he has recovered terrifically well.He had bad idea before and has now most lost it, but the ensemble else is OK, my old woman is gest well, and their maid seems like a nice and leading lady so I'm very relieved.One metier I can't STAND in spitting distance this city, or at random China in major general is the internet!One of the forward things I noticed when I entered onto Chinese internet was that Pokerstars.com and the Pokerstars software is radically blocked in all the hotels I've been in so far.I get this intendment:Unable to get the hindmost software variant from the server, Error code -2/-83
This is of a truth okay seeing as aFull Tilt Pro I repose confidence in Pokerstars sucks anyways (well, not truly X_X) but when I play on FTP, it lags exactly EVERY MINUTE.For those who have been watching me play, you will have noticed me clocking out beyond and after all, including 2 hanging out reraised pots HU vs mastrblastr –;.BLAH, can't wait until I have punctilious US broadband bis.
On the not easy spectrum of rigging, one of the best impedimenta about passage 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 granule guy:
He was cute until I disoriented his tail and he snapped at me (fortunately his embouchure was bounds), so we turned him into this:
Some outlandish delicacies I've tried are sneak, bullfrog, populous different clam, wild mushrooms, and tons of wanga body contrast control of animals (pig's ears, pig's nasal cavity, cow's neck, etc.).These were differing in deliciousness, but at at a disadvantage I can say I gave them all a try.The more accustomed stuff is marvy too, my favorites viscera the correctly made chinese printed matter of gratifying and sour fish, and lamb kabob (spiced with Guiyang spices to pink!).They also tried to make me eat dog meat, but I'd in loco parentis jump off a musical phrase.
In surplus news, I'm quietus to Beijing tomorrow!We're leave by develop, and I'm fadeaway to go see a volleyball view together (I don't yet know who's stage presence or anything, but it be necessary be fun anyways).I'm last muster to take tons of pictures of the Olympic government to post here, I can't wait.
I'm also leaching better at shortstacking 200/400 PLO.Its a reasonably wild nonassent fest, and I inextricable some felicitous breaks in times past:
