In one of my former lives, I used to spend about a month and half a year
(usually two 3-4 week trips) in China, back before the Brits gave back Hong
Kong.

While there were some odd things by my standards, I thoroughly enjoyed the
food, lost weight while eating and drinking to excess, but had gut problems
once I got back to the greasier foods here. To this day - and it's been 20
years - I still cannot stand most places' notion of "Chinese food" in this
country - outside of SFO and NYC, that is.

I was quite temped by the set of four "venereals" for just $29.85...

(I watched a science show about medical maggots and it looked nothing
like these. Well, kind of watched. I kept having to leave the room.)
