Chengdu Trip

Last sunday, my boss and I flew over to Chengdu to visit a site-project. It's a city that's about a 2 1/2-hour flight away from Shanghai. Among the many city sights that caught my attention were:

a lady who's actually laying over tiles at the site

indoor bicycle parking area

a sign that got me confused

That night, we had dinner at a famous Sichuan restaurant. Imagine dining ala-hot-pot style, but this time, you're cooking everything via a wok filled with boiling cooking oil filled with only the spiciest ingredients you can think of.

I couldn't take the spice any longer just after a few minutes of eating so I pretended I was full already. The beer I was drinking wasn't much of a help. I'm glad it was over. Whew!
