As a Chinese living in the US, I have a weak spot for expat writing. I particularly love to read blogs written by western people living in China. They are easy to love because they are funny, they look at things I know from a different perspective and they are honest. One of my favorite is Violet Eclipse, an English teacher living in Yantai. Today I came upon this entry about ordering banana in a Yantai restaurant. In short, they tried to order fried banana, an entry on the menu, but were always denied. They finally brought a banana and the restaurant gave in and cooked for them.
And my first reaction was: I miss China!
