My requisite self-portrait: yours truly in front of the Confucius statue 
at the corner of E. Nandan Road and N. Caoxi Road.  I wish I could've 
easily gotten a picture of myself posing like Confucius in front of him, 
but, because I'm wearing pants, it doesn't look right.  
Incidentally, this photo is high-resolution.
Take two.

Free appetizers: pickled stuff (too spicy for me) and peanuts (salty).
"Hot pot chicken with bamboo shoots."  Good.  I appreciated the whole 
cloves.
The menu description for the chicken with bamboo shoots.
"Top 1 Xiangjiang-taste fish head."  Topped with preserved, sweetened 
chili noodles (whose purpose is to soak up juices).  Good.
