I'm enjoying the heck out of his travels there. The food looks wonderful, though much of it looks hot as Hades too. I'm not a big "spicy" guy these days....but just the way they seem to celebrate eating as a social setting, as opposed to here just refueling, is cool. Reminds me of my older Italian family when I was a kid.

I've been fascinated with China since I did a book report on it in grade school. Not the political aspect but the culture and history of the people themselves. The artwork, buildings and gardens are spectacular. My local China Bike guy here (Doug) has been there a number of times on business and has shared his pics and stories with me. I'm glad Joe's there doing something I'll probably not get to and sharing it with us from his unique perspective.
