This weekend I…

• went to listen to Ellen and Runar at My Living Room (The House, My Living Room… Xiamen businesses are all about confusing names)
• went for a game of pool (I was keeping Neil company, I’m not really into pool) at The Londoner
• crafted
• had dinner at Rustica (Tony’s)
• met up with Georgie and Gary at Havana (sangria and mojitos were consumed)
• moved on to The Londoner (Xiamen nightlife is so unpredictable)
• shopped a bit with the Chongs (new pair of jeans and some games)
• had dinner at a great Anhui place (and ate ang zao* duck! I’ve never eaten ang zao anything outside of home before!)
• walked home in the rain
• finished watching Red Dwarf season three

* Ang zao is a paste for stewing pork, chicken, etcetera. It’s fermented rice and something else, it’s red in colour and has a distinctive taste.
