Now thanks to your brave gesture I know for sure I won't be trying them.<br />Tibetan dancing is not much fun, I saw some while in Nepal and was not particularly impressed either.

That said though, I'm not sure I would have the stamina to eat those little bodies. You had me on picking something our own size... Have never minded tasting either elephant or whale (both delicious) but the oddest thing I've ever eaten (in my book) was kangaroo at a luxurious restaurant in Copenhagen. How's the fish in China, btw?Esther Garvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499704062488259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715297772664566868.post-33484262255353937052009-04-21T15:58:00.000+01:002009-04-21T15:58:00.000+01:00my mum and aunt are now in Beijing following a tou...my mum and aunt are now in Beijing following a tour group. wish I could join them.
