Counting, hot foods, cool ice cream bars

We can now count to ten in Chinese. That's both outloud and on our fingers. Chinese people have a different way of counting on their fingers. Three is done with the index finger and thumb touching so that the other three fingers are up. Six is the hang-ten sign. Ten is an X made with the two index fingers. It leads to less confusion if we stick to their counting method.

Secret note to Bav: I don't know what number the "Rock On" sign is. To be investigated.

We're in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. The food is hot. Full of chillies and oil and yumminess. The temperature is hot too. But not too hot, about high 20s I would say.

Suprising discovery: China makes some really tasty ice cream bars. My favourites so far are the ones with juicy raisins frozen in them. We haven't ventured for the corn ones yet.
