One of the big joys of living in Beijing is the great farmers' market near China Daily. My wife and I go there once a week to stock up on fresh vegetables, fruits and meat for the coming week. We get piles of mangos, longan, strawberries and the delicious little mandarin oranges. Plus, we get bags of vegetables - I don't know the English names of many of them. And, there is pork, chicken and really fresh, still alive when we buy it, fish and seafood for the week. Usually, it costs us less than 500 yuan ($73.50) for a week's food for two people and a dog.

The city of Aleppo, Syria, is not the first place you'd think of as the source of a special story.

And there has been sporadic violence since its recapture by government forces.
