My cousin lived on campus as an English teacher in one of the universities in Wuhan. We'd go to GuangGu in WuChang and hit up some of the bars there. There was this literally underground pub (half a storey below street level) that had hookahs and imported alcohol but literally had a max capacity of like 20 people near Vox and Prison, prominent xpat bars but wasn't completely riddled with laowai.
There was this middle aged American lady who was an English teacher, who my cousin was on tenuous terms with (the yank disagreed with her binge drinking, and also the way my cousin dresses for a lady, but some "politeness" from whatever region of Yankistan prevented her from saying anything directly, plus they worked together so they have to deal) would give out Christian literature, and/or bible stories as a extra reading for her students trying to learn English. It was an attempt at saving the souls of some godless commies.
If you know any where in the states to get the type of lamian they make their please let me know, I've been craving it ever since I left. There is one place in DCs china Town that makes something close enough it scratches the itch but I'll fucking travel to New York if you know a place.
Yup the Lanzhou lamian, I somehow forgot it was made with beef broth. Probably explains why I can't find it, ever since I became a vegetarian my eyes just pass over anything with meat in it. Well that's a bummer.

Like, Lanzhou lamian, the Hui cuisine? Or some hand pulled variation of Reganmian?
