Bad Hair Day

Posted on by

Here’s a photo of a real bad hair day! joelogon posted a photo of himself getting his hair done:

bad hair day

This photo has me a little puzzled. I love it and was going to use it to write about how hair fashion is all the rage amongst young men in China (and it sure is!), but upon looking at it further, it appears that Joe lives in the US. For some reason it comes up when searching for Chinese hair on Flickr. There is no Chinese tag against it, so I have no idea why this happens.

As a result, it doesn’t quite fit into this series, which is only about photos of China. Regardless, I’m going to include it purely because it’s such a great photo! Joe has such wild hair in it! Talk about a bad hair day – well technically it’s not a bad hair day, because it’s actually just a hairdresser appointment, but you know what I mean!

Joe, if you ever read this, love the photo, love the wild hair and I’ve got to say that your blog, Dumb Things I Have Done Lately, is also pretty interesting. Best of luck!

Chinese Cabbage Soup

Posted on by

This photo of Chinese cabbage soup (by avlxyz) really caught my attention.

Chinese cabbage soup

This soup looks to be made of delicious pork chunks and Chinese cabbage (known as Baicai in Chinese) leaves. I can almost taste it! Chinese cabbage appears in many Chinese soups (and noodle soup) and for some reason it works extremely well. It tastes wonderful and is great for your health.

One of the things that really struck me when I moved to China was that most Chinese food is not only delicious, it’s also quite healthy, with fresh ingredients, lots of vegetables, etc. We should have more of this sort of food in the West, as the diet of the average Westerner has slowly declined into something not so healthy!

I do know of a really good cabbage soup diet – the cabbage soup in the photo is a little different from the diet cabbage soup, but I think that this one of the reasons that most Chinese people are so slim. I’m sure there are other factors in play, but diet is probably the single most important factor.
