It would seem China is full of funny/weird/completely random things.
I couldn't contain myself on discovering this very funny, and entirely unappetising menu (in the Marriot of all places)!
Look closely...
Maybe I should have tried one of the 'Hairy Crab Recommendations'... but I'm sorry, I'm just not brave enough (and I'm quite sure my stomach isn't strong enough!)...

Lost In Translation Part 1
I'm intrigued. And a little confused.
Can anyone shed any light on what an Organic Sleeping Place is?
I'm quite sure this is something much more enlightened that when translated into English, simply doesn't work.
A bit like the Arabic word 'habibi' - if guys in the UK walked around calling each other 'my love', well, that would just be weird. But in the arab world, 'habibi' is quite possibly the most used word in the dictionary.
Or maybe, this is some new-modern all-organic place for sleeping? With Canadian influences?
