So I was posting a bunch of links to my del.icio.us bookmarks about the "new" Taco Bell Grande in Shenzhen, all excited because greasy, processed Mexican food was finally arriving in China.

Then I went dancing with Jade and her friend on Monday night and passed through People's Square, discovering to my great horror that the Mexican restaurant on the north side of the Square is a Taco Bell Grande, actually opened before the one in Shenzhen, and which I'd always just shrugged off as a likely poor imitation of the real thing; a Mexican "Chitalian".
