Sprite On Fire!


I really like everything about this. When I saw this at my convenience store I had to try it. At first taste, you feel totally cheated. It tastes like normal Sprite. Where is the fire? does fire mean orange taste, does it mean cherry taste? A few more sips and I started to feel the fire. A nice burning sensation in the very back of the throat. Not really spicy... but just a little fire. I guess that's why the "on Fire" is so small on the can.

Xin Jiang Bread


Its good to finally be back in Shanghai so I can spend my precious time huddled around the Xin Jiang Bread vendors oil drum oven waiting for some fresh flat bread. Xin Jiang is the very western province in China that has alot of Arabic influence. You probably would not recognize people from this region as being Chinese at all. At 0.5 RMB each, this has to be some of the cheapest eats in town. If you order, be prepared to answer the all important question "tian de haishu xian de" which is "sweet or salty". I definitely like the salty best.
