Having had my fellow British colleagues who also teach at the Dalian University of Foreign languages over for a meal at my house, kindly cooked by my Zhonguo Ma [Chinese Mother], otherwise known as Aiyi or First Aunt. English equiv of saying Auntie. [Who is in fact Miao's Mother] They returned the favour and had us over for a home cooked meal, which was a nice reminder of home. Chilli-con-carne made from scratch and a side salad with legitimate Italian salad dressing, a real treat here in China where these things cost far more than they have any right to cost compared with the local cuisine. Anyway back to the point, this wine was far too nice, and needless to say, lack of regular drinking patterns and mix of the tastey local Dalian beer, red wine and white wine resulted in a bit of an upset stomach, bleary head and troubled sleep. Not to worry, still young and recovered quickly.
