I learned today that in the Chinese culture, foods are either hot or cold. Meaning that they bring you warmth or coolth. This seems to be independent of the spiciness or physical temperature of the food. For instance, rambutan and durian are hot fruits. Turns out that black dogs are also hot. In the cold winter (meaning less than 80F), the number of black dogs on the streets decreases significantly. A guy from IDE commented about a black dog in his neighborhood that has white stripes painted on it. Clearly a family pet. . .
