Well I don't have a pic of this one but it sounds very fnucked up. So apparently at the most high end restaurants you can get a true delicacy. Have you ever seen Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?--the scene where they are served monkey brains? Well apparently, that's not good enough for China, b/c monkey brains are not tasty when they are not fresh...You can go into a restaurant, they have round tables with several holes in the table. They stick live (!) monkeys under the table, they are tied up and they affix their heads through the holes and cut off the top of the skull (now we are talking more Hannibal Lecter style) so you can take a knife and your chop sticks and start munching away at the live monkey brain. When I commented that perhaps this is a little inhumane to the monkey, I was informed that it's very humane b/c the way they cut off the top of the skull makes it to where the monkey does not feel any pain and it's basically paralyzed, it just looks at you, so it's ok. I did not get a chance to get any comments from the monkeys...
This is my blog. I will be chronicling my travels through China over the next year for my friends and anyone else that stumbles upon this blog. I will also periodically post my thoughts about current events, especially when such events pertain to myself, China, freedom, or "computer cards". Feel free to post comments but do be discreet in referring to yours truly. May you always drink deep...Aquafraternally yours.

Well, I guess if I was hungry enough...
Now I do like very rare steak, but even for me living monkey brain is a lot of little bits too much.
