Beijing is big, very big: if you do not stop at least a week then see only the belly tank tops with the air, feel the smell of sewer, plays the sound of intorcigliato language, taste the Chinese dumplings, remain out of the Forbidden City and just reach the lakes of the emperors.
At the counter of fresh Carrefour Beijing you can find sharks, turtles and snakes .... live! The Chinese appreciate an ingredient of the day and keep them in tanks as the lobsters.
If you close your eyes, you fall asleep and you happen to wake up in the suburbs - a nice suburb of any city in the world halfway between pole and equator - you could be in San Donato, in Levallois Perret, or somewhere in Switzerland, which is by definition the periphery (because wherever you are in Switzerland, also in the center of the town you always seem to stay on the outskirts of somewhere else).
The weather in Beijing is extreme: it rains or hot humid blanket of snow or stellate to twenty below zero. The weather in Shanghai is like a huge area of \u200b\u200bindustrial warehouses and motorists gray cloud that always threaten but never rains. In this part of China is a little 'house, ugly and insignificant as the beloved Po valley. I am surprised that we do not like the texture Soresina.
But how is it possible that tonight replicate the jellyfish appetizer for dinner? E 'that are so nice that I just can not disappoint them, as that sort of rubber that smells of garlic and vinegar is not exactly my favorite dish. But I admit that Dongpo, belly stew cooked in wine with lots of pork skin, I was not disappointed at all (I'd also like a dad).
It 'nice to chat with the Chinese food, are enthusiasts: scorpion kebabs, fried starfish, insects restaurants (expensive), roasted rabbit (the girls like to gnaw on his head), the brains of monkeys (a skull open with the legitimate owner is still alive) and last but not least the dish of three sounds: a featherless baby mouse that squeaks when you take it with chopsticks and dip them rebuilt when the boiling broth. The third sound they say you will do directly to you, when you put in your mouth.
Ah ... China!
