Chinese Whispers


Mist on the Yellow River,
leaves on the willow quiver,

Smoke from a thousand chimneys
blackens the eastern breeze,

The fragrant infusion of tea,
syrup sweetness of lychee.

Tastes that sweatshop comrades cannot savour
in lives of cheap and wasted labour.

Biscuit:  A mixture of Chinese sweet snacks
Taste test: 6 out of 10
Cost: A gift from Denis from Hong Kong
