Beer Fish be the bomb! The famous Yangshuo Beer Fish is as good as they say. I am going to learn to cook it tomorrow, then I am going to cook it at home (wherever THAT ends up being) with properly filleted fish and it will be the best thing EVER. I will never understand the predilection for many bones in your food - it's just wrong. When I am voted president of the world (2015 - "Yes you WILL"), there will be a law: each piece of food can have one (large) bone, at maximum. This allows for things like ox-tail, t-bone, lamb-shanks, ribs, etc. (you can see, I've thought this proposal through, I will be a kind and benevolent dictator - unless you have a thing for bones in your food.)
But then, just when I think the Chinese have their food-shit all backward - they blow me away (pre-pun intended, you'll get it in a minute) with the snails (stuffed with pork and mint, yum). They make a hole on the other side of the shell from the "door" and you just blow that little sucker out like a tenacious booger. Beats screwing around with tongs and a barbie-sized fork - bit messy though. BRILLIANT! (except the booger analogy, not very original, that.)
Also, rice noodle soup for breakfast is better than I thought it would be - in fact, I could get used to it.
Went for a 20Km bike ride the other day. First time I've ridden a push-bike in close to twenty years (holy cow, that makes me feel old). At least 10 of those Ks were on a very bumpy dirt track. Legs are fine, but wow, does my bum hurt.
