An old tradition...

Flavors of China.......anyone who loves Chinese food, and is in Cal, just had to visit Flavors of China, an offshoot of Bar-B-Q, on Park Street.

For its old-world charm, comfortable atmosphere, no-hurry attitude, and of course GREAT food, this place is unbeatable.

Of course, there's Mainland China among the new entrants to the all-fav Chinese food....but Mainland China is new - all sparkling and glass and chrome.....while Flavors of China has the patina of graciousness and elegance...

Go try it!!!!

I hope we weren't looking at something that we thought was over...

Yesterday was Martyr's Day, and as usual there was a huge rally on the maidan.

I am all for everyone participating in such things. I also feel that this is more of a happy outing for all those who come in from the villages around Cal - a trip to the 'big city' is certainly a change from their otherwise bleak, hard lives - and I would never grudge them that - BUT-----------when these rallies turn the city on its head, and people cannot get home - then the question pops up -  could this not have been held on Sunday?
