DELICIOUSNESS *yumyum*

Came back on Saturday from a 2week vacation to China. Here's a tiny glimpse into the wonderful variety of foods we had. Tried many new things that I've never had before. The carb-filled diet (with all sorts of bing and fun) of the saanxi people was satisfying and made this carbie's tummy smile =) We traveled from the south to the north to central china to the north east sampling the local delicacies and specialties.

Brought some photos to share...(now the names of these are unfortunately not quite authentic)
