Hot pot and superstars
19th July Chengdu
A popular and fun way to eat here is the hot pot.
As the name suggests in this type of eatery you get a big cauldren in the middle of the table filled with hot (spicey and temperature) oil and cooking spices, over a gas heater.
You then get up a grab from the vast aray of raw meats and vegetables on sticks,
stick it in the pot to cook, then pick them out and into another bowel of oil in front of you and eat.
Mmmm oil, meat, picking what you want, where can you go wrong,
then the bill is worked out by the amount of stick you have at the end, 1 cent a stick.
Going out in the evening is great fun,
people are really friendly and often love to have a westener at their table and buy you a load of drinks and make loads of toasts telling how great you are.
You definately feel like a superstar.

Wow, this must be so great... Sometimes I wonder what the hell I was doing backpacking in Oz. There was just nothing like this! You never told us what your Chinese name was!
