OK, well first off there’s the Nescafe mocca tinned variety. These are really small. You could skull the whole can in a fraction of a second if the opening was big enough. Quite nice, though the non-mocca one is a bit better in my opinion. It cost 2.5 人民币.

This one was imported from Japan. It was much more expensive than the Nescafe offering above, slugging me for 14.5 人民币. It was definitely drinkable, not too sweet. But it tasted like coffee you might buy at the Belgrave cake shop. Coffee isn’t a big thing in Japan, and I’m surprised to see they’re exporting the stuff.

Well, A-ha comes up trumps! A great value drink at 3.5 人民币, this coffee is available in Wuhan - and presumably in much of China. It is creamy, moorish and the sweetness level is just right. I’ve stocked up the fridge (having bought the whole latest shipment from Carrefour - and they’d only just got it in too) and am ready for a few days’ indulgence. If I can get the timing right I hopefully won’t lose too much sleep.

I look forward to holidaying in Singapore again. I’ve posted a picture from the same evening on here before.

This is my family and my friend Marco.

God willing we’ll have an evening like this again in just a few months.

The other morning when I went to McDonald’s it was very early. Here’s a picture of the street at that time (about 5:30am). At peak hour it’s busy and totally chaotic.

I have nothing more to report.

You’ve been wondering how I’ve been keeping myself clean lately. Above is the secret weapon.

Soap in Chinese is 肥皂.

At this restaurant they first skin the animals, and use the skin to produce fancy hats. The meat is then put on skewers and brought round by waiters so hurriedly that hardly any conversation can take place between the mega 很多 animal offerings.

Testify! Testify!
