In today's episode of Erin Eats Weird Things in China we bring you: Sea Cucumber.
Apparently the Friday dinners for my work staff are continuing. This week we walked along the waterfront to a buffet place. Buffet in China is MUCH better than any sim...
So, China has a popular (to put it mildly) pastime known as KTV. I dunno what it stands for, but it is basically karaoke, in a small room. Just a group of your friends, a couple of bad microphones, and a tv or two with a karaoke game. You go in there a...
I feel that you should know that the street sweepers in Qingdao play "It's a Small World" just like an ice cream truck. Since there is a whole army of actual people employed to sweep the streets with actual brooms, I have come to believe that they use...

Sunday was a gorgeous day! It was basically spring. I worked an open house at school, which means I played and sang songs with strange 2 year olds and their parents for a couple of hours. When that was over I walked across the street to the seaside....
