Eats Kunming: 2011

China related. When I was in Beijing in 2003 I got a "job" editing a chinese-english dictionary - looking for typos and making sure that usage was correct. As a side project, I wrote down every sentence that I found interesting. These were example sentences. How to use the word "child" or "care for," for instance. I recently rediscovered the list. My apologies for the racism and unintentional raciness.

here goes:
