We’ve been in China for a couple of days now. The sights have been really cool, including the Great Wall, Tiannamen Square, Forbidden City, and the Imperial Summer Palace. The food has been really good, albeit a little strange at times - I think it has freaked out more than a few people on this trip. Last night someone in our group started a rumor that the soup was ‘pig brain soup’, causing a brief panic amongst the more squeamish individuals.
I hope to try deep-fried scorpions before we leave. I’ll post a more detailed update later on.
