(Oh ya, and what's up with the dog eating over there?)

When you've made up your mind about coming to China, how about bringing me a Mexican Chihuahua--- Yummmmmyyyyyyyyyy. I wonder what a Mexican chichuahua taste like. Lol.

Some Chinese do eat dogs, that's why some dogs hardly ever make it through the winter. My pet dog "Xiao Hei" suffered the same fate, grandpa took the opportunity of my absence; butchered and gobbled her up.

Welcome to China, have fun teaching over here.

P.S
When invited out for a banquet by a Chinese host never ask what's on the table.

Do you know a song by Weird Al Yankovich? :)
Part of the chorus goes like this

Eat it, eat it, get yourself an "egg" (could be a dinosaur's) and beat it. Have some more "chicken"(could be some sort of exotic bird) have some more pie(with unknown fillings in it)
It doesn't matter the food you don't like just EAT IT.
