Spicy Wei-ya!
Corbett | January 13, 2004 11:03 PM

We decided at the last minute to have a spicy hot pot (ma la huo guo) wei ya for the Living Room staff. A wei ya is sort of a year end dinner for staff. The scary red stuff in the foreground is one of the pots of spice we were about to dive into. (The guys are sitting at the other table.) With ma la there are usually three levels of heat. We went for medium (level 2), which usually gives your sphincter some serious morning workout. Fortunately, it wasn't that hot today.
The girls can usually go through twice what the guys can. I bonked after about 3000 calories and six scoops of ice cream to cool off.

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>

Sorry Jeremiah, but I only get as far as quirky investigations at 3q2u.
