Hello everyone here. My name is lvruibing. Astonishingly I don’t think you friends could pronounce this name properly because this is the spelling of a Chinese name…
I have been curious about Absinthe since I bought my first bottle of Absinthe in a local Metro supermarket. Then I have watched some movie about Absinthe, just like “From Hell”, “Total Eclipse”, “Eurotrip”(),etc. Now, in a small city of 3rd world country like mine, there are 3 bars appliy Absinthe. They buy Absinthe from a online shop “taobao.com”, which is a Chinese version of ebay.com(although there IS ebay.cn in China). We drink Absinthe always with spoon, partly because nobody know anything about fountain, partly because we learn how to drink Absinthe from that “From Hell”movie.

Ni Hao. What Absinthe brands are available to you?

A fine absinthe is the product of knowledge, craftsmanship, and talent. An exceptional absinthe is the product of those things plus obsession. Most absinthe is the product of marketing.

Hello there, welcome to the party.
Spoons are very popular on the West Coast also, especially Seattle Washington.

Hello Ivruibing!

New to this forum myself. I feel I have to comment one thing you wrote though:

[…] because we learn how to drink Absinthe from that “From Hell”movie.
I hope you really don't do it as Johnny Depp in "From Hell"?

First: Please do not burn. wink.gif
And secondly: Do not mix with Laudanum. sleepy.gif

Otherwise: abs-cheers.gif

For all the wrong reasons.

Because I don't have any and because I can't find any.

'Cause Laudanum probably spoils the taste, perhaps?
Well. I don't really know of course. But…

For me just ice cold water is all I really care for to an absinthe. I don't even add sugar except on very rare occations.

Spoil the taste of black liquorish tasting crap? C'mon, you're kidding, right?

Not even on prescription?

I suppose I am. wink.gif

Edit:
I don't think absinthe tastes crap. At least not genuine absinthe.
But I could also have misunderstood you?

On prescription? Not even as compensation for dental malfeasance. There is no justice anymore. Prolly reason enough to set things on fire.

But surely you can't mean absinthe, I hope? (About wanting to set things on fire?)
