I don't want to be sick anymore!

Weather: cold (if this autumn I'm not looking forward to winter)
Temp: Min 2 - Max 13
Dis mos kos: My mum gave me this cookbook for my birthday. It has all the best Boerekos recipes. I'm seeing milk tart in our future.
Exchange rate: 1RMB = R1,70

I'm still sick. And I'm not really starting to feel any better. I was determined to go to a market today, but after finishing the ironing (don't ask) I was completely pooped and napped all afternoon. I'm barely awake now. I also sent off my CV to some ad agencies today. It would seem that most of the agencies are based in Shanghai, but like Frikkie said, there has to be some in Beijing. I've got to keep on trying I guess.

After saying I'm not going to the prirate DVD store I went anyway. We returned our faulty Rightous Kill and bought: The Mumie (sic), Journey to the center of the earth, Don't mess with the Zohan and Flashbacks of a fool - Daniel Craig's latest movie (bits of which was shot in Cape Town). What I find really amazing is that whoever makes these bothers to copy everything and then gets the English write-up on the back wrong. Not badly wrong, just a word missing here, mummy spelt incorrectly... It's the sub editor in me - I can't help myself. But it also makes it fun and I think I can now speak a third language, spoken by most Chinese: Chinglish - it's a lot like English, but with some distinctive Chinese quirks. I think people use Google Translate and hope for the best. The best of it often quite hilarious.

We're off to The Red Capital Club for dinner tonight. Looks really nice. It's in an old house with a beautiful courtyard. Apparently they specialise in the favourite dishes of senior Communist Party Officials. Should be interesting.
