china though...
So many chinese people.. go to a 'small city' in china, and it has more people then london..
Anyway, the food is the reason to go. honestly, chinese takeway just does not cut it. its barely representative of one small area in china, and even then its a very english take on it...
Sat in a resteraunt one night that specialise in barbequed meat on sticks.. 4 of us, waiter piling out with more and more sticks of delicious chinese meat.. and vedge.. comes out and says 'these green plants.. good for penis.. make strong' - well ok...
Chicken breast, leg, pork, chicken heart, chicken stomach, cows stomach, pigs feet, frogs legs, sea cucomber..
Swear there were chinese chefs out the back just saying 'what else can we shove on a stick for these stupid english to eat'
Poor chicken is looking over in the corner scared.. he knows they dont waste any part.
After a few hours, and more food then I thought was possible, Im thinking 'ok, this is enough.. this is to much.. did not even bring that much money with me, and although its lovely, ive just had to to much..'
I ask for the bill, and he comes back with a note saying £14 (equiv)
For 4 peoples meal... full starters, tons of mains, chinese puddings, and lots of drinks..
hand goes back up 'yes waiter.. I think were goning to carry on for a bit...'

Serriously though, its wierd there price wise.. luxory goods and electronics are about the same price as in england.. good branded clothes and the like, and bassically anything that you dont need, there is very little difference in price.
But everything that you need.. food, accomodation, feul, etc. - is just dirt cheap.
