This is how they sell meat in the market (at least, the kind of meat that's not still wiggling around). I've decided that Americans are too uptight about some things. All of China buys pork this way, and it's not like there's been a population decrease. Anyway, essentially you go up to the person who is selling the meat and point to what you want. You tell them how many jins you'd like (a jin is 1.1 lbs) and whether or not you want it ground. So far, all my pork has been worm-free, which is more than I can say for my broccoli.
Not a whole lot has been happening around here. Finals are the week of January 1(they have the longest semesters EVER here). Tomorrow, we are going to Guiyang for the weekend. Foreign teachers don't have classes tomorrow or Friday. We are staying with our team there. We will have a Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and everything. The turkey was 300 yuan, close to $50, but hopefully it will be worth it. We are also going to Pizza Hut, the new coffee shop owned by Americans, the ice cream place...I think that might be all. Oh yes, we are going to buy more cheese. I'll report later if it goes anything like the last time we bought cheese. . .
