[Mike Fleischer (themightytoe]

Now I have to say, the only time I have traveled abroad and actually 
gone to a McDonald's were when my wife and son came with me to Nice for 
6 weeks...  That was just to get the food quickly, my son was 14 months 
old at the time...  Swore we wouldn't do it again.  They have KFC and 
Walmart here also...  The things we do to other countries...

The Pigeon was pretty tasty, but bony and not a lot of meat.  I have 
been out here for a few weeks now, had some Western style food a few 
nights ago (Shish Kebab) that was really good, but when in Rome...  
Honestly though?  Should anyone be surprised that something cooked in 
Germany is not impressive?  I have not seen the snake on the menu yet, 
that would be interesting, though I have seen plenty of stuff that would 
be considered quite out there in the West...  One restaurant had fresh 
turtle (two kinds, soft shell and Crocdilian) on the menu (and in a fish 
tank near the back of the restaurant).   Also visited a grocery store, 
lots of live seafood, and landfood...

The food is just one part of the whole experience :).  Oh and had 
another massage girl follow me to my room last night...  Persistent 
girls.  Did not think to get a picture of her, that might be considered 
bad form, but very pretty and elegantly dressed (little black dress), 
looked like she stayed at the hotel (maybe she did?).

BR in PRC,
Mike
