FORBIDDEN CITY

His face is calm and self-confident. He is only one but he can see everybody.
Thousands of chinese citizens every day coming to Tienanmen Place to feel his preasance. The holy Mao is happy in his red heaven. Now China is great like never in the past. He nows that future belongs to him. Policemen, soldiers, security cameras, spies are spread all around watching streets and buildings. In old hutongs areas on every corner people with red belts on their arms watching your steps, on every street there is at least one police station. Even in the toilet in our hotel there are small cameras. Beijing is a forbidden city at all. There is only one thing without rules. It is food. In the city where everything is under control you can feel realy free tasting the most wired things in the world. Big fat still moving silk worms ready to fry, baby sharks on the sticks, colurfull starfish, shaking jellyfish, black scorpions, big 20 centimeters long centipedes, baby birds and finnally the big bowl full of pig's penises stuffed wih red chili. If you are more keen on and wealthy enough there are many porsh restaurants. Interiors are decorated in gold and red with stuff wearing only traditionall clothes. You can try such exclusive specialties like camel's hump, lip of a deer, drunken shrimps, squirle's tail or horribly expensive bird nest soup.

i've been drinking bird nest soup every night (i only get the homemade kind back at home). the only reason why i drink it is because it's supposed to be good for complexion.

i’ve been taking the store-bought kind online (e.g. www.geocities.jp/hongkong_bird_nest/index_e.htm of famous branded only of course) which is directly mailed from Hong Kong. this would be at a more affordable price.
