Dude! Tea eggs are amazing! Try them! make sure you crack the hard boiled eggs so that the egg white absorbs more of the tea flavour. Do not eat too many in one sitting...especially with yolk and all, you don't need high cholesterol Read more

Xian and Beijing, you'll definitely need a mask. Shanghai is a maybe and Hong Kong is almost mask free.

Xian and Beijing are totally polluted - though it's on and off. IF you want something I have, if your state side you can get a 3M one from Home Depot but you'll need to buy refill cartridge filters. The whole package… Read more

Haha. Once I get the pork, I'll break out the frying pan! hahaha.

I'm totally for bioengineered foods, the only problem with it is that at this stage it isn't completely safe. They need to fix all the little bugs with it. It should be fine in a few years =], I'm looking for organically grown beef flavored tofu from Soy… Read more
