Actually, that is not fair. I've done a bit of driving in many cities in southern China and most of the drivers are aware of and will yield to pedestrians. It's northern cities in China where this is more of a problem.
I know. Damn facts. Sometimes they are not fair. Let's cancel them.
On the main page under the headline you state "Like living in any major cities, anyone who has lived here long enough will notice that Beijing is never a friendly city to pedestrians.". No, not in any major city. In China. I am sure they are not driving like this in Berlin or Vienna for example...

Lets make a long story short. Fact is ya got a stinky bathroom or kitchen. The stink is coming from decaying biological matter that is in your piping system. You wish to not have this stink invade your abode. A so called `p-trap' is a system which is only about 2000 years old, whereby a water barrier intervenes between the noxious gases emanating from rotting biological matter and your abode, hence your nose, your nose residing at such abode. Easy peasy, make a little twisty in yer pipe wherein water may settle and keep them noxious stinky gasses at bay.
gawd, the ways i could massacre this article. I think someone is toyng with me. If I can't write 23 snide, sarcastic, comments per paragraph of this `article' authured by `Roy' then I can't write a one. Sorry, it is too much keytyping, but the bellylaughs have not abated. .
What you are really talking about here is not `alternate meat' which is a solecism, rather ` a vegetable derived substance that simulates the texture and taste of meat'. Now that is rather a mouthful of adjectivity, the best solution to which is to coin a single noun which describes the actual stuff. I submit `MERTF' as my substitute noun to describe vegetable derived substances that simulate the texture and taste of meat.
By rhe way, the bloodcurrdling screams of every carrot I have ever slain yet resounds in my dreams. Rurhlessly yanking them headwise from their pleastant earthly (somewhat necessarilly) diirty abode! I tthink I may have PTSD. Vegetable slaughter by the tens of thousands ! Forced as a child vegetarian solidier to shuck them peas, husk them corncobs.! Oh the humanity! Oh the vegetablility! And I haven't even started yet on the biowarfare waged against viruses!

Well I was with ya all the way to `alternate meat producer'. Don't get me wrong. I love tabouleh, i love hummous, I love eating many, many vegetables, prepared in many ways, with many different spices. In fact I was a vegetarion for a good 20 years.
But please don't debase language with terminology like `alternate meat'. Meat is meat, it comes from the carcase of a dead animal. There is no such thing as `alternate meat'.
Second hand you say? I used to thrive on 4th hand glad rags. One time I found me a classy, expensive black leather jacket in dumpster downtown. Once I shook it off of deceased corpse inhabiting it, gave it a try on. Fit like a glove. Rinsed off the bloodstains in the crick, patched up the bullets holes with wee bit of duct tape, and lickety split, bob's yer uncle. Got me through two tough Canajun winters livin in alleyway.
Now I am fairly certain that many foodies lap up this pigslop ardently. None-the-less I have a food complaint. It has to do with Greek Salad. Now, the Greeks were some folks that lived down south and wrote a bunch of crazy books, but however, invented this really cool salad, that should be, by my ken, composed of four fundamental ingredients, lavished upon such ingredients should be an oily lubricant to assist in consumption and digestion of said salad. Said salad should be composed of equal parts tomahto, cucumber, green pepper, and (prefereably) red onion. These components should be dashed together and mixed well so as to equidistance each substance from the other. Thereafter one should prepare a dressing to ladle upon said salad. Such dressing should be composed of 80% cold pressed olive oil and 20 % 9p (balsamic) vinegar. Plus lemon juice, a shitload of chopped up garlic, and other miscelaneous stuff like salt and pepper and yadayadayada. Which throws my proportions all to shit, but anyways.
Ya git the drift right?
Now upon this vegetable mixture should be doused the salald dressing as well as a large honking chunk (or chunks) of feta cheese. Also should be added about 10-15 calamata black olives. This is known as a Greek salad. When I go to Shanghai, to a so advertised Greek Restuarant and order a Greek Salad for 100 kuai and get a bowl of chopped up iceberg lettuce with a slice of tomato and two shavings of feta cheese I am not impressed. Let me state unequivicably, there is no fucking lettuce in Greek Salad!
I forgot to say virgin, as respects the olive oil. Otherwise I ain't too picky.
