I know, I know, this blog is pretty mediocre; especially because I'm doing descriptive writing without pictures. I'm looking into getting a used SLR camera and I am reading about basic photography composition, as you can see from my 'On the Bookshelf' list. I'm also working on this new thing called having friends, who may also have cameras. If you know me and are interested in exploring the city, whether you're visiting or living here, let me know! I'll do the research and we can hit some pretty nice spots. On my to visit list:
The Russian Tea Room--$10 for afternoon tea, but it looks absolutely beautiful, it will be an experience!
Chocolate Bar--I passed through here the other day, good prices for strong chocolate
Tea Box Cafe--I'm looking forward to the oriental feel
There's also this strange place I've heard of that has, what I suppose you could call, reverse dumpling soup. The soup is in the dumplings. It's like gushers, except with dough and broth. Maybe this isn't that unique in Chinatown, but I've never had any. I still have to do some more research to confirm where I can find these delectable flavor grenades.
I'm also very behind right now on my posts because of a book I'm reading: Painted Paragraphs. The author samples excellent descriptive writing from a variety of texts and subjects and explores what makes them good. After reading such an incisive commentary on descriptive writing, you'll have to forgive me for slaving over my own prose.
Cheers,
Joshua
