foot/dish

day 117: 西安 (Xi’an) = 0km

Wanna see my foot?

I’m afraid there’s actually not that much to see, it’s just itchy as hell:

So anyways I stayed in my hotel room on the 24th floor almost all day:

I had a good serving of 宫保鸡丁 (kungpao chicken) and ate around the red things:

Wimp that I am.

Later that night, my friends took me out to a special restaurant:

A special restaurant with a special dish:

Can you tell what this is?

Here’s the video:

You should know what I’m talking about if you are either Chinese or you understand German.

Everyone else… take a wild guess!

By the way, a common name for the thing is 金钱菜 (jinqiancai - “money dish”), because it looks like the coins used in ancient China:

The ones with the hole in the middle.

Soundtrack: Body Count - “Evil Dick”

    is it the sliced reproductive organ of a donkey? a very unlucky donkey? is this supposed to increase one’s sexual stamina? or does it make it easier for you to carry your heavy load?
