Just down the road from the school, there is a tea shop opening. I'm not sure when it will open, or indeed whether the owner is building it for his unborn children, because I have never seen such a slow shopfitting in my entire life. Now I'm no expert on the matter, and so I would appreciate anybody putting my expectations right if they are wrong, but I would expect a shopfitting, for a pretty small shop, to take not that long. They had started on it when I arrived. They look as though they are maybe half way now, 7 weeks later.
In an almost unrelated vein, I went for dinner tonight, at what is fast becoming my favourite restaurant, for reasons not wholly related to food. Outside, they were putting up a banner, ostensibly to attract business. When I arrived, they were a fair way into this exercise. When I left, 75 minutes later, they hadn't yet finished. This was a banner that would take Mike and I maybe 10 minutes to put up. If we were drunk. And didn't have a ladder.
I'm not sure what all of this means, but I thought I'd mention it and let you draw your own conclusions.

Hi Zak
I'm glad you've found a favourite restaurant. Just remember that you ARE in China, and different rules apply. To this end I'll leave you with this thought:
You may have heard that S.A plans to look at the possibility of amending our legislation regarding the consumption of pets, which means that Rex could very well end up on the dinnerplate soon! Not only will we be buying pet’s mince, but we can buy minced pets!
Further to this, I’ve thought of a few meals we could soon be dishing up:
Hot Dogs (But in the true sense of the word!)
Poodles ‘n Noodles
Border Collieflower and Cheese Sauce
German Shepherd’s Pie
Ice Cream with Malteses (Maltezers) and Whippet Cream
Pup and Stew
Eskimo Dog Pie
American Pitted Bull Terrier
Terrier Water (Pronounced “Terry-Ay” - For those who prefer bottled water)
Great Danish, or Grated Dane, if you prefer. (With Yorkshire Terrier Pudding).
Irish Setter Stew
Pekingese Duck
Pomeranian Frittes
Pugged Hare
If you’re very hungry, you can wolf down your hound (except if it’s Inferior Terrier) and the leftovers can go in the Bichon Deep Frise!
I forgot the Mutt 'n Curry!
