...most sauce with their bread and fill their triple-sized shot glasses from the bottles of Maker's Mark that line the tables, to see who can toss down the most boilermakers. This meal is not for wimps. As we tear and chew and slurp, the band segues to jazz and then to old pop favorites like 'A Bicycle Built for Two.' In a moment we are all on our feet together, singing 'God Bless America...
...scrutiny would spur reform within the totalitarian nation. Yet even as China has constructed arenas, stadiums, and playing fields, positive steps towards a heightened respect for human rights have yet to materialize.

Nearby, a prostitute in a leopard-print minidress has arranged herself in an armchair, presumably waiting for a customer. "People are so confused and crazy now," Zeng says.

...indigenous peoples (who, together with a smattering of other ethnicities, make up the remainder): Spicy grilled fish courtesy of Malay chefs compete with juicy pork dumplings from the Chinese and the flaky delights of Indian breads. Around me, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus and even the odd Zoroastrian slurp noodles and suck prawn heads. It's like a United Colors of Benetton advertisement, except with piles of discarded chicken bones...
