Erkuai
Erkuai (Chinese: 饵块; pinyin: ĕrkuāi) is a type of rice cake particular to the Yunnan Province of southwest China.
The name literally means "ear piece," a reference to the shape of one of its common forms. It is often served stir-fried with vegetables, and málà (麻辣) sauce, which is a mixture of dried red chilis, Sichuan pepper, and salt.
It is also sold as the popular street food kăo ĕrkuāi (烤耳块) or shāo ěrkuāi grilled and rolled around a yóutiáo (strip of fried dough), with sweet or savory condiments added, making a rolled-up snack resembling a Mexican burrito. The sweet type contains a sweet brown sauce and peanuts, while the savory type is spread with lǔfǔ and bean sprouts, and various other toppings. Kăo ĕrkuāi is particularly popular in the tourist area of Dali.
Its peculiar name has led to it being called one of the Eighteen Oddities in Yunnan.

Breaking Up With God
by: ArkAooo-ooooh
Aooo-ooooh
Thought I headed straight
Thought I had it waiting for me
Thought it was my fate
I was only waiting for the sky to fall down
The sword of Damocles
Or at least I thought it was
Had me on my knees
That's when I saw it had the shape of a cross
Aooo-ooooh
I'm ready to give it up (up up up up up up..)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
A world that's black and white
Has evil haunting every corner
Demons in the night
And no love, no love for the one who ain't right
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aaaah aaah aaah
Aaaah aaah aaah
(We'll lead you home...)
Aooo-ooooh
I heard the call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
I heard their call, but I won't follow
'Cause now I'm breaking up with God
I've had it with shame, I've had it with sorrow
Now I'm breaking up with God
And the Devil too
Now I wanna dance the night away
Aoooo
Reach my heaven alive
Aoooo
Now I wanna touch you right away
Aoooo, oooh
Find my own heaven alive
Aooo-ooooh
