ITT the Jews and the Chinese get along GREAT

Vey

Five Jews together can control the gold market of the humankind;

let's do this

hang on let me clear with the Elders of Zion first

When you take over, please remember who started this thread!

Five Jews sounds like the next hip bagel joint

H invited our neighbors (two kids who are watched during the day by their Chinese grandmother) for an impromptu playdate after seeing the grandmother (who speaks virtually no English and cares for the kids) roaming the hallways in boredom. The grandmother went to her apartment and came back with an envelope with $20 in it for Chinese New Year. Are we supposed to give her/them something in return?

I mean if we just give THEM $20, doesn't that defeat the purpose? But if we give them more, it seems competitive and if we give less it seems cheap. So how does this work?

don't give anything but maybe invite them to dinner later

ooh yeah, power move

That's a good idea. Parents are really nice -- they've gotten our kids birthday gifts (and we did the same in return) even though we haven't really had the change to hang out.

there's been a big influx of orthodox jews visiting the traditional chinese medicine shop down the street, i assume related to the measles outbreak.

Regarding the top Chinese executive in Israel, who chose to learn Hebrew as a young man:

...his grandfather told him that Jews were smart—people of the book. Everyone thinks this in China, he said. If his years communicating with real Jews in Israel has disabused him of this notion, he was too polite to say so.

paywalled, i *love* Shun Lee West/Cafe but never been to the Palace. Was aware of the new location but haven't bothered to investigate though it's much closer to where i live. Just assumed the experience and decor wouldn't be the same.

very cute, this is one of my favorite things that's come out of the expansion of Chinatown along the Port Washington line so far.
