Yesterday's Flood

This leaves the question how you actually got to your non-flooded office floor. By boat or swimming? By the way: If one takes away all the water, it looks as if you work in a real nice environment.

I blame you Frank. hehe

I'm with henning and fudawei...Chicago's winter is killing me this year! bazza, can we come visit?

It's pretty much all gone down today. I've no idea where it all when cause that's a hell of a lot of water. Henning, it's higher round the other side of the building so it was dry there.

Haha! Oh, man! I thought the title of this post was "Yesterday's FOOD." I got all excited to see some great cuisine!

Ooh, my friend in Yorkshire's town also got flooded. At least it wasn't as bad as last summer's.

frank, that's funny! I always have food on the brain too. Here's some of the food you have to look forward to when you visit Shanghai...臭豆腐

not sure where the rest of my post went! ...chòudòufu

very very strange. My post keeps getting cut off. I'll try one more time. It should say "臭豆腐...chòudòufu...stinky tofu" and have a delicious photo of stinky tofu. Sorry if it doesn't post.

WOOHOO!!!! Must have been some kind of user error;)

I don't see any snow, so I'll happily trade you weather.

Bazza, You're new profile photo looks intense. Are you sure you didn't cause the flood in a Damien "Omen" kind of way - a bad case of the mundies? :-)

lustchina, the smell is absolutely abhorrent...but the taste is pure heaven! If your nose can get past the smell, your taste buds will be rewarded.

Yikes! Be careful driving around in that Bazza. Frank, I'm all for seeing Bazza's food, but I'm not sure I want to see his food from yesterday.

It doesn't look smelly. I bet it's not that bad - I like durians after all!

LustChina, LOL. His mother was a jackal! Bazza, Just another reason to move to Shanghai.

sebire...remember those words the first time you encounter stinky tofu. You will eat them...the words that is:)

Seriously, worse than durians, the smelliest fruit on the planet? I see this as a personal challenge :D Is 臭豆腐 a regional speciality or can I get it anywhere?

It's one of those smells that hits you hard at first, but then you get used to it. It's pretty much found in China, Taiwan, and Indonesia (very easy to find at street markets)....so you'll have to wait until your trip in March!

Calkins, My empty stomach is flooding with gastric juices at the sight of such a dish. How does it taste?
