just now, after i posted that gay entry, i was on my way to the starbucks (新巴克 xin1 ba1 ke4) opposite our apartment when i thought about it some more and decided that i managed to fall asleep last night because i got out of bed and opened the window just a sliver to let in some air. it was rather stuffy in my room before, and very cold but not stuffy after.
so that's alright.
and now, as promised:
the sunset in changping, near where we go to school
what xiaoyun is holding is a banana on a stick, and what i'm holding are hawthorn berries on a stick. remember those haw flakes, little red-brown discs wrapped in pink yellow and green paper, which we ate when we were kids? this is what they're partly made of.
judging by this picture, so does xiaoyun.
it's called 冰糖葫芦 bing1 tang2 hu2 lu2. i think the guys selling it were very amused, because i asked if i could take a picture with it first, and then could they wrap it up for me to take away? when you do a take away they wrap it in rice paper first, which i really like.
whenever i eat the rabbit sweet i always try and peel off the rice paper first. although that doesn't usually work except for a short strip of it, the rest is usually stuck too tightly to the sweet.

i seem to like food on sticks alot.
