DISH DRYING CABINETS

THESE FANCY CABINETS ARE FOR DRYING DISHES... DISHES THAT YOU FIRST WASH IN THE SINK...

WE WENT TO THE DEPARTMENT STORE AND FOUND THE ITEMS FOR SALE WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN AT HOME. THE DISH DRYING CABINETS ARE A NEW PRODUCT TO REPLACE THE COUNTER TOP DISH DRYING BASKETS. THESE LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE A VERY POPULAR NEW KITCHEN APPLIANCE FOR THE CHINESE. WE WISH THEM THE BEST WITH THIS NEW IDEA.

TOOK THIS PHOTO BELOW FOR JASON. STREET VENDOR FAST FOOD. WE THINK JASON LOVES LITTLE CRABS WHICH ARE TOASTED. BUT WE ARE NOT QUITE SURE. KIND OF A JAPANESE THING WE THINK. THEY ARE ON A ROTATING DISPLAY AND HAVE A UNIQUE LOOK ... AND TO US IT WAS NOT A TANTALIZING ONE. THEY CANNOT HAVE VERY MUCH MEAT IN THEM, SO WHAT'S THE POINT? LOW PRICE MAYBE OR JUST THE THRILL OF EATING 10 - 15 CRABS AT ONE SITTING.

MODERN NEW HOT PLATES FOR SMALL CHINESE APARTMENTS AND KITCHENS. THEY ARE PRICED AT ABOUT $65. AMERICAN.

OTHER LARGE ITEMS FOR SALE WERE MICROWAVE OVENS, WALL MOUNTED WATER HEATERS, UNIQUE AND COLORFUL HUMIDIFIERS, EXPENSIVE AND ELECTRONIC RICE COOKERS, AND TOASTER OVENS.

(Click on these photos for a close up look.

Prices are in yuan so divide by 7 to get the

american dollar cost.)

WE FOUND A GREAT PLACE FOR A CHICKEN LUNCH AT DICO's, A KFC KNOCK OFF.

JAY IS POSING AT THE LOCAL FREE PARK ENTRANCE.

IT IS A LARGE PARK AND FULL OF SMALL LAKES,

WITH LOTS OF GREENERY.

JAY CHECKED HIS BP (Blood Pressure) WITHOU GOING TO A MEDICAL CLINIC. This is at the department store.

ON HIS WALK HOME FROM WORK, JAY SAW A BRAND NEW AUDI SUV POLICE CAR THAT THIS OFFICER JUST DROVE UP IN AND THE OFFICER WAS TAKING A PHOTO OF IT...

JAY SHOT THIS PHOTO BEFORE THEY NOTICED HIM, AND HE WAS GIVEN A CLEAR SIGN THAT HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE PICTURES OF THIS! AGAIN: "NO PICTURES!" ????
