Chinese Booze
The cause of and solution to many of the problems faced while in China, the various alcohols found on tap in the Middle Kingdom are as abundant as they are varied. From China's staple baijiu, to the widely-available domestic brand beers and wines, there is no shortage of firewater to either complement or replace a meal with.
Note: By no means does Lost Laowai endorse excessive drinking; live it - perhaps, endorse it - no.
Chinese Food
A huge part of understanding China and Chinese culture is through the country's countless varieties of cuisine.
Perhaps not surprising, "Chi fan le ma?" is one of the most common greetings given in China, and it means simply, "Have you eaten?" It illustrates just how connected the country's food is to all other aspects of day to day life. Though the popularity of Western fast food continues to grow, small restaurants and local dishes are still the mainstay throughout most of China.
