unfortunate that you have no desire to see it, China has many wonders which are worth the trip...the people are friendly...amzing country really...when travelling however not all is pleasant, I have seen alot of poverty in my day...I am talking the worse kind with people living without heat, water, electricity or latrines (Nepal)...on the surface it can seem very sad, but funny thing is you can walk around the streets & see way more smiling faces than you do here in America, anyway I digree....
I will try not to be too explicit but lets just say I have seen all types of animals hanging on the streets in the markets of China, ALL TYPES....For the most part in their culture they would view a dog almost the same as they do a fish!! In some parts anyway.
Cages everywhere with all types of creatures...restaurants with big windows in front full of snakes...'ie you pick your snake they cook it for you'
Fancy restaurant may bring a bowl of shrimp to your plate in a glass seethrough bowl...the shrimp are ALIVE...placed on a burner & cooked in front of your eyes at the dinner table!!!!
