But you taste good.
I feel kinda bad about this, but the food rules are a bit different here in the outlying provinces of China. And certainly turtle soup is not a rarity.
OK, not so much the shell, which like many things gelatinous is considered a delicacy here, but fairly gross for my american taste. But turtle meat turns out to be quite tasty.
Pig's palate, however, is downright disgusting. Trust me on this one.
OK, so it isn't that one, but I just joined another one on my trip from JFK to Dubai, the first leg of my fall trip back to Beijing on the new Airbus A380. This club probably only has a few hundred or thousand people in it so far, and I'm one of them.
A shower at 39,000 feet!
Food as always was great - spicy lentil soup, chicken tikka with basmati rice, and Cakebread Chardonnay... one of my favorites.
It will be interesting to see what Beijing is like now that the Olympics are over. Did the traffic get back to normal? Does the air still smell stale? Is the CCTV tower finished?
And, can I take tours of the Bird's Nest and Water Cube?
