We actually spent 3.5 years in Linyi and 1 year at the Shijiazhuang airport. Beijing is amazing after all that time in those relatively rural areas. However, I do occasionally see pony carts on the streets here, usually selling fruit, and they always make me smile. Hi Mark, thanks for leaving a comment.

I'm impressed!!! I only lasted 6 months in 2004, but I did marry a local girl & now we live in Sydney, Australia. I was last there in 2008. Linyi certainly has some contrasts! eg. Expensive cars & donkey carts in the same street. You're now in Beijing? - enjoy! 4.5 years in Linyi? I’m impressed!!!

I tried to buy some instant oatmeal one time and I was sent to a health food store. Everyone I asked thought I was crazy to want animal food. My Suegra has a big jar of peanut butter in her pantry from god-knows-when. I ate a spoonful one day not caring how old it was! When I was in Spain I really missed the most random American foods.

So I really am going to have to come visit you in Changping just to see if it really is Linyi-lite. Oh yes, “Western-Style” is exactly what I was imagining.

Seriously, this made me sob. We have one of those self-described "Western-Style" restaurants out here like you were probably expecting. It's Western re-interpreted and re-imagined for the local palate. They don't even serve rolls. *Sigh* And you could leave this behind?

I can only imagine your excitement when happening upon the yummy, freshly baked bread. I'd stuff myself silly too!
