Today I bought some books at 王府井书店 (Wangfujing bookstore) for a couple of my students. The English language section covers an entire floor of this building; literally thousands of books. There is even a series of books that feature the characters from Friends teaching grammar and colloquial English, which, I'm sure, is not officially licensed. Also, prices are low enough that I can easily afford to buy whatever looks like it might be of some use.

Silvia bought a bootleg collection of just about every movie (around 30 films) every made by German director Rainer Fassbinder. For some reason, this also includes "Water Drops on Burning Rocks," which is a Francois Ozon film incorrectly labeled and just thrown in the box set.

Blogger is still blocked in China, folks. Hopefully this will just resolve itself.
