chinese meal
2006.09.24 - 02:09
i found this feast-like chinese meal very disorienting. first its
difficult to keep track of how much i am eating. second its a
challenge to turn the table without disrupting the flow of social
interaction.
and - heavy discrimination (or care) for alcohol distribution by the
waiters. i was automatically served coke (while men got beer). other
female colleagues were indeed not drinking - they were drinking either
milk or yogurt. this pattern continued in other meals.
at the workshop hotel somewhere in northern beijing.
