Xmas Briefs in Xining

Just a few days after doomsday, we have Xmas. 

Unable to come up with a coherent narrative for this most western of festivals on the cusp of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau, I will summarise in a list of sorts:


  • cutlets of bony fish
  • half-knitted scarves
  • sparklers on a stolen pine tree
  • a blessed silversmith from Henan with his Mary Kay helper
  • a four minus one cheese pizza
  • a bastard freezing walk, a runaway bus and a disco taxi
  • a lama playing fur ball
  • three colours: cointreau and ORANGE, GREEN dropped in SILVER, and an apple in a box.
