A couple weeks back I got sick. Actually I've been sick three times since coming to China. Nothing very bad. It only kept me from work once. They were only colds.
The last time I was sick I decided I was going to knock it out before it had a chance to know what was coming. So I went to the restaurant I frequent and told them I had a soar throat. They gave me a Spinach and garlic dish and a big bowl of chicken and mushroom soup.
Now, in China if you order and dish with chicken or duck it's almost a guarantee that you will hear the cook slamming a meat cleaver down chopping a whole chicken into bits. They don't take the meat off the bones, they make you do that. They just hack it to bits and let you pick out the bones.
The soup was great. You've got to love China.
