From a Chinese background, I like my food fresh. But here, they like their meat and steak aged. The steak turn brown and unappetizing. They sell them as "aged" for tenderness. They hang their birds and ducks for a few days. <br /><br />There is another food: corn is soaked in a sack in a creek until they almost rotten.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-31975407796823132009-09-10T19:15:59.849-07:002009-09-10T19:15:59.849-07:00I'd never thought of food as aged and weathere...I'd never thought of food as aged and weathered.

I especially liked the part about the dentist. I am like you, I keep my eyes shut!<br /><br />I especially love the colorful old buildings.<br /><br />The fruit does look odd. Do you have durians?
