Enjoyed the article, picture at the bottom made me laugh, I live in China myself, have tried pretty much everything, but generally draw the line at tentacles, but I’ll try most things once, except for maybe fried bugs. Also while I like meat off the bone I generally don’t have enough time in the day to spend 20 minutes extracting 0.00004 grams of meat from anything.

It’s funny the comment posted above, people really do get insecure about the smallest of things.

So long,

Leon

Hartland, this was not a comment about culture, simply my dislike for seafood in general. Whist living in China I have tried many uncommon delicacies but it doesn’t mean I have to like them all. Not all Chinese like eating cats/dogs/hairy crabs so why should I?!

Regarding Chiang Kai-Shek, the Chinese government often like to paint anything connected with Taiwan in a negative light so it was surprising to me. Again this is just an observation and does not make me shallow or unworldly. Most people outside China have never even heard of him.

The picture at the top of the page rotates every-time the page loads. They’re not all of China.

I suggest you think in future before giving your reactionary opinions which are just a typical example of stereotyping Westerners without actually thinking.

Wow, what a cruel thing to say about another’s culture. Hairy crabs are a delicacy and your hosts paid handsomely for you to try them. Typical self-centered Westerner.

Why would you expect Chiang Kai-Shek to be demonized? Mao had great respect for the man. Really unworldly…are you really that shallow?

Also wondering why your blog is about China but the picture at the top is clearly Korean.
