Hahah that sounds like a knockoff of a Fallout Boy song: Thnks Fr Th Rcpe. (allusion to Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, and yes, the song's actually spelled like that) Aaaanyway... I've just come back from China and I agree, Chinese food is nothing like American Un-Chinese food. (making it very clear of the difference). I was there for 2 weeks and I loved it. I'm still trying to wean myself off of rice, and seeing as how this is my first breakfast back in America (or Meguo in Chinese) I would still like rice, because frankly, I'm still addicted haha. I love the sweet and sour pork, the peking duck, everything but the chicken heads and feet. I just couldn't bring myself to eat something that looked back at me when I looked at it. Or something that I could shake as a greeting. My friend, however, had no qualms in trying it, and he loved it. I must say, everybody, If you ever have the chance to go to China, go ahead. China has gotten such a bad rap in America because we're capitalist and they're communist, but if I were to say which population was more friendly, I would have to say Chinese. In America, if you say hi to someone that you've never seen in your life, you'd be lucky to get a polite nod. In China, you do the same, and they very clearly say hi back and beam at you (you'd have to say it in Chinese, though. Not many understand English). They're also not as conservatively styled as people make them out to be. True, you're not going to see a girl walking down the street topless, or a guy bottomless, but they're not as conservative as you think. Once again, if you ever have the chance, go. Let me give you the info of my guide, seeing as how he is now my good friend, and I wish to give him some business. Long (or Dragon, or Dragon-Long) longyujap@hotmail.com He currently is no longer working for Gecko full time, but if you ask for Dragon, or just email him, then you can get hooked up with him with no extra trouble and expense. Tell him Payne sent you and said hi. Thanks for the recipe. Hahah that sounds like a knockoff of a Fallout Boy song: Thnks Fr Th Rcpe.

That wave of nostalgia is what makes life beautiful. We visited China just this year for the Gourmand World Cookbook awards held at Beijing. Its awe-inspiring - the city, the scenic beauty, the magnificent great wall. Dear Jaden, That is quite a well expressed write-up about touching your roots again.
