No tour, I was with the Chinese. Ate all kinds of stuff. "in China, everything is food."
Duck chin was my fav, great noodle joints for lunch, every dinner at a differrent place. A lot of stuff I didn't know wtf it was. Hardly a western face any place I ate.
Never tried sea cucumber, not sure I"d go for that. The texture just does not appeal.
The drivers there are crazy. A week into my trip I asked my guide in all seriousness "are there any traffic laws here?" It looked to me that they kinda stayed to one side of the road, but not very well. They stopped for red lights, too. Outside of that it was "point the car and go."
