“In honor of my grandfather they brought out Moutai,” he said. “The toast was important but they did not emphasize drinking.”

 

Former President Nixon was fascinated by Moutai – a throat-searing grain alcohol that bills itself as China’s national liquor — and reportedly went against aides’ advice by partaking in rounds of toasting, including with then Premier Zhou Enlai.

Funny seeing that elephant again. That elephant and other large statues line the walk to the Ming Tomb. Wenyan and I went there on my first trip, left from there and went ot the Great Wall.

 

I've got a photo of Wenyan standing in front of that elephant but If I had only remembered this photo of Tricky and Pat I could have put on my plastic Nixon halloween mask, put "a proper Republican coat" on Wenyan and had a great photo to show and tell fer yawl.

 

Not trying to get political, just remembered Richard Nixon's famous line. Actually, I miss Richard Nixon, and I miss that famous caricaturist Elephant who had such a great time with, those were some pretty cool days.
