I picked up the Pagoda menu from the pyle of others and scrolled through.  Olga did the same.  And when I was almost dialing to make the order, she remembered, that the last time we ordered Chinese from another place.  But she couldn&#8217;t remember which one it was.  Neither could I.<\/p>\n<p>And than I remembered that I posted something in the blog about some Chinese food.  Seconds later I found &#8211; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/mamchenkov.net\/wordpress\/2005\/09\/26\/jin-ciao-the-new-food-stop\/\">Jin Ciao. The new food stop.<\/a>&#8220;.  Not only I posted something.  I wrote a very comprehensive review.<\/p>\n<p>I dug up the Jin Chao menu from the pyle of papers and we put up a new order.  We were able to make smarter choices and knew what to expect &#8211; all because I spent 10 minutes three month ago.<\/p>\n<p>The moral: blog &#8211; it&#8217;s good for you.  At least it&#8217;s better than your memory.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: We ordered other dishes and they were excellent.  Jin Chao is definitely my number 1 Chinese food spot in Limassol right now.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>You&#8217;ve heard me saying that blogging is good for you, haven&#8217;t you?
