Day 173 - Project 365

Thalea went to China....got a phone call and a text from her from here.



Tiananmen Square....3000 people lost their lives here in 1989. I don't think the Chinese government even acknowledges the fact that it happened yet. I'll have to ask Thalea what she learned about this place other than the fact that they eat this...



and this...



I've always been curious as how people so long ago decided to eat certain animals. Totally ugly on the outside and so delicious on the inside..but come on people really scorpions and sea horses not appealing at all even if they are deep fried in butter still not going in my mouth.

Now I know for sure that if I was on the Amazing Race, racing for a MILLION Bucks..yeah I would probably pinch my nose and eat them...but its only for the MILLION!!!

And starfish too. I have great pictures from the night market of these "delicacies-on-a-stick". I offered my travel-mates money to eat them, but I don't think a single person from our group did. I did watch some other tourists try the scorpions - they said they didn't taste as bad as they thought it would. ICK!!!!!
