Century Eggs – for Real Gourmets! (16 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       22 Dec 2009       12305
These special Chinese eggs are black inside with a greenish tint and look as if they were found during the excavations of an ancient Chinese city.
That’s what thought foreigners first arrived in China, that it were simply stale eggs, and called them "Century eggs" (or hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg).
They are usually marinated in a special way for a few weeks or even months, which gives an unpleasant odor (the scent is similar to the smell of ammonia).
But they say that when the eggs are fully prepared, they are incredibly tasty.
Well, would anyone like to try this Chinese delicacy? Don’t hurry with your answer, look at the pictures first ))

Why It’s Better Not to Celebrate the New Year in China (22 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       21 Dec 2009       12914
The New Year is a holiday where sometimes people cover big distances to meet with family, friends to celebrate it together.
Wherever you live, you can buy a ticket on a train, plane, ship and to get to your destination.
Anywhere, but not in China.
In this country, to get on the train (the most accessible means of transport) in January will be very problematic, even if you have a ticket.
After seeing the photos you will understand what that means.

Peng Shuilin had half of his body amputated after being run over by a truck. But he never gave up!
His recovery has amazed surgeons after almost two years undergoing a series of operations.
The vice-president of the hospital where this 37-year old Chinese man has been treated said: “He is amazing and the only person in the world to survive having so much of his body amputated.”
He’s doing well now and has opened his own bargain supermarket - called the Half Man-Half Price Store.
That’s incredible. It seems nothing can get him down…

There are no laws during a street fight, you can kick wherever you want and use all that you can find on the ground etc.
Here’s as an example, a fight involving six men and several women in the streets of a Chinese town.
Yeah, it’s true that they use anything they find while fighting.

Sometimes, something goes wrong during the ceremony, sometimes it’s about the wedding cake… but sometimes, it’s on the way to the wedding place!
