We've been staying in a luxury compound where embassy workers live as well as other oil execs like the Curtis'. They have American food and their club house, which is of literal palatial size has a 5 star gym and spa, restaurant, reception facilities and more. So we've not been too privy to the Chinese delicacies. A couple of nights ago after visiting the wall with the Gibb family, we went to a noodle bar. We ordered noodles with beef brisket and I almost became a vegetarian that night. The noodles were great and the broth exquisite, but the meat.... It had pieces of tripe stuck to it and as soon as I saw it there's was no way I was going to put that meat in my mouth. Mike ate all of his and loved it. Next time we see something crazy we will have to take detailed pictures. But that little experience with tripe definitely got me thinkin'. American cereal has never tasted so good to me.
ps: The Chinese eat noodles and broth for every meal of the day. We haven't even seen a bowl of rice yet. Kung Fu Panda was very accurate.
