So Andrew Zimmerman

(from an e-mail from Adam. You can see why I'm in charge of writing most of this blog!) Was in town (Dalian) yesterday with gang... it was all too familiar...seemed more like Singapore than a (perceived) communist country. I had the best squid.. cooked entire cephlapod on griddle with spicy sambal. folks with me thought that I was crazy... but I knew better. I am so Andrew Zimmerman.

Today dealing with kitchen and going for a tour of track and field venue in Dailain.

(for those who've never heard of Andrew Zimmerman - he is a very large American guy who has a show on the Travel channel where he goes around eating the strangest things he can find in every corner of the world. Sea horses, stewed pieces of male anatomy, pigs ears.... nothing is exempt from his enthusiastic voraciousness. And he nearly always has something positive to say about what he's eating. The only thing I've seen him really dislike is the infamous durian fruit beloved in southeast asia that smells a lot like vomit.)
