Still many questions surrounding the terrible fire that broke out in Urumqi, Xinjiang, yesterday. The fire, that killed 10, broke out at 19.54 and wasn't extinguished until 22.35. Cause was a multi plug power board in a bedroom located on 15th floor of the apartment building.

1/3 OK so I've been called an elitist for making this point and I'll make it again. Gong Xi Fa Cai(恭喜发财)means Congrats, get rich! It's the Mandarin version of Gong Hei Fat Choi (Cantonese). Neither actually translates to Happy New Year,

Tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally coarse in their nervous sensibilities... will always be the favourite beverage of the intellectual. THOMAS DE QUINCEY

An intersting post from @emramsden. Can you guys try to read these tongue twisters? The Chinese for tongue twister is 绕口令 (rào kǒu lìng).
Doing tone drills with Chinese tongue-twisters. I think the first one is the Chinese version of "she sells sea shells" #chineselanguage #mandarin

Cool! A vegan version of Chinese Mapo Tofu! :) #chinesefood #cooking #vegan #eathealthy #eatclean
My version of vegan mapo tofu: soak chinese mushrooms and then mince them in place of the pork or beef. Stir fry with garlic and ginger, then add chilli bean paste, soy sauce and the mushroom soaking liquid. finally, stir in sichuan peppercorns and spring onions #chinesefood

Today marks “Chongyang” or Double Ninth Day, which falls on the 9th day of the 9th month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s a day for young people to express their appreciation for seniors and lots of activities will be held across China to pay respect to them.
