Do they taste like real shark fin? I don't know, we were too cheap to pay the US$40 a bowl to try the real thing. So what do they taste like? Artificial flavoring chemicals. Bambi caramels! Peking Duck flavored chips. Also weird and ... http://www.frogwasteland.com/2008/05/05/hong-kong-snacks/ How odd. I thought all these stores were shut down years ago. Imagine my surprise as I walked through the streets of Macau and saw this: After some googling, apparently a company in Macau has a license to run these stores.

One of them is open a crack, we are quickly shuttled in, ... http://www.frogwasteland.com/2008/04/23/luo-hu-commercial-city/ I always thought entering a communist country was like in the movies. Giant walls with barbed wire, fierce guard dogs, soldiers with M16s, searchlights. The reality was just a boring airport-terminal like area.  It took less time in line getting in and out of China than going through US customs ... http://www.frogwasteland.com/2008/04/23/shenzen-china/ The mysterious durian. We've heard so much about this strange spikey-football looking fruit. I mean even Andrew Zimmern couldn't eat it. He spit it out. We happened to walk into a supermarket while waiting for the travel agency woman to return, and the official durian guy was there with his ... http://www.frogwasteland.com/2008/04/20/durian/
