Saturday Night Dinner

This is why I enjoy having a tutors -- I learned how to say "zombie" in Chinese. It's huo2 si4 ren2 - literally, "alive dead person". (The numbers are the tones.) Awesome.

I'm now on the lookout for any Chinese zombie movies - she assures me there are a few in existence.

Also, I finally had a camera with me during a meal. This set is from a team dinner Saturday night at the Thumb Plaza. Highlights:

Needless to say, there were tons of leftovers.

In other food-related news, I made good on my promise to buy some matzah! So I have two boxes sitting around. I'm going to bring one into work tomorrow. It's not exactly the tastiest delicacy, so I'm not expecting it to attract a huge amount of attention ;-)

In other non-food related news, I just came across two really useful web sites for learning Chinese.

And if you're interested (which I hope you are), here's a Chinese translation of the TMNT theme song.
