eating in Guangzhou

.... then it's taxi to the hair salon.
I got my first hair cut in a long time,
a hair wash, scalp massage, shoulder arm and hand massage all included of course.
I didn't get a hair cut so far in China because like many massage and karioki places, many hair salons are just disguised brothels. This time I was with local friends so I could be sure the place was legit.

then taxi to get coffee,
coffee is terribly expensive (relative to other things) in China, so awfully posh.
then taxi to the snake resteraunt for dinner.
Yes that's snake, mmmm.
Conforming to the chinese idea of freshness the snakes are alive in cages untill just before you order them. You have a big boiling pot in the middle of the table where you cook the raw snake yourself, because everone of course knows the exact optimum cooking time for each part of the snake. Each part of the snake is quite different, raging from tender fillet to chewy skin, to parts just for the broth.
Oh and you get frogs too of course.

then lift home for a bit,
then lift to nightclub.
This is where someone orders all at the same time an indulgent quantity of overpriced cans for the table, and everone sits around and plays dice drinking games.
Then lift to late night barbeque joint.
Not your typical chicken hearts (really tasty) or pigs penis (really long and curly)
or even the flattened rat which was a sceciality in yangshou,
but the tastyist oysters, muscles and cockles I ever had, mmmm,
Other cullenary dellights from my time here include turtle, crab, fish, the list goes on.
