I asked the same thing, no idea how they get the name.

My colleague's friend has one which is how she came across them, she doesn't like Pandora as they are dangly charms but she does like these. Not my cup of tea but then I don't wear much jewellery.

I had to Wikipedia the bracelet too. When I retired from HVAC in the desert my company gave me a really good quality coat!

Ours wouldn't stretch to that!
On saying that, when my boss retired the big boss bought a couple of bottles of Moet, that was a fun afternoon

Did a cupboard recce and have got a small amount of Chinese five spice, both black and white sesame seeds, oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce, hoisin sauce and white pepper which is an ok stand in for Szechuan pepper - although at the same time not the same thing at all!
So tomoz I’ll be off to the Brit supermarket.
Judging by the amount of Asian ingredients they stock I’m not the only Brit that suffers from this madness of craving Asian food when in Spain
There I will be able to get Rice wine vinegar, Sesame oil, gluten free soy sauce, more five spice and wide rice noodles.
They have lots of other stuff but that’ll do for now, imported goods are about a third to double the price here.
I can’t get gluten free Shaoxing but it dawned on me sherry’s a thing in Spain so I’ll just grab some of that.
AND around there they also have a few Asian restaurants, one of which looks like they understand Coeliacs disease
I’d kill for a nice hot n sour soup right now!

Argh - nonstop Christmas music in the breakroom at work has started.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s torture!

Radio started playing 24/7 Christmas music 1 November. It’s December now, so yeah, it’s everywhere (including piped over the PA at the Detroit airport…).

My wife, rest her soul, was Korean and could make bibimbap like nobody's business!

I always made it with ground beef mixed with gochugang and other things, but had it with bulgogi at a Korean place, and loved that too. I'm torn now how to make it.
