Back home I often eat oatmeal for breakfast. Rice porridge, which the Chinese call zhou or congee is a good alternative. Except, I can't always convince the people at KFC it's what I want. They KNOW an American eats hamburgers, just as everyone knows pandas eat bamboo.Why would you feed an American zhou? Would you feed popcorn to a panda? It takes awhile to convince them I know what I'm asking for.
Americans have the misconception that hamburgers should be made of beef. The Chinese know otherwise. Hamburgers here consist of any edible foodstuff embedded in a soft bun. A Chinese "hamburger" can bebeef, egg, pork or fish. Even vegetables might work.
This panda prefers zhou, thank you, at least for breakfast.

Went to KFC today with a printed copy of the hot OJ picture you put in you blog a while back. We took a picture to compare your wrap with that of a wrap in JC, TN.
I've been using your pictures to make points on my 6th grade website. Check it out.

I looked at your website. It is very exciting to be part of an educational process like this. Kids need to become aware that not everyone our planet is the same.
