I had some coffee the other day at Coffee Language, a restaurant close to People’s Square here in Linyi. I haven’t been there in a long time and they have changed their menu since my last visit. I only wanted coffee, but I decided to have a look at the food just to see what was different. What was different was that the menu items are now only offered in Chinese, they used to be in Chinese and English. Weird. The main menu headings were still in English, however, which is how I could identify the snacks and drinks sections. One heading was a little confusing, though. “Atherosclerosis,” it read. That sounds very appetizing. “Yes, waitress, I think I’ll have the second item here under atherosclerosis. Xie xie.”
