Due to the insertion of the dangerous chemical ‘Melamine→’ into dairy milk in China, some children have grown kidney stones and some children have died. over 53,000 children have been affected. These days, dairy products tainted by poor quality control in China should be avoided at all costs. This includes: ice cream, milk, cheese, yogurt, baby milk powder, (possibly) soybean milk, dim sum containing milk (e.g. 奶油飽), candy, cake, biscuits, chocolate and snacks.

I took a peek in its shopping mall, watched a movie and bought blueberries in its open-air market.

It was here that we recharged our batteries. We checked our email like there was no tomorrow and played computer games with fervour. We had too much Pilsner, too much meat and too much sleep. Brno is definitely a good pit stop if you are in the middle of Europe looking for rest.
