I have a friend that's in China right now for school (Shanghai). She tells me that even though she digs chinese food, she is eating some <b>weird</b> shit right now.

She also noted that she tends to get a lot of looks, namely because she's <b>pale</b> (like me) and they're <b>not</b>.
Now, that having been said, I still want to go there. Not about the food, but about the people and its rich history. Lot of amazing little things happening in China... just gotta brush up on my Chinese first.
