Memories of Asia

Posted onAuthoramarnanda

And what about Asia?

So many impressions, so many stories, so many photos, so many things I would like to share with you again! Now it’s time to flashback and share some fast facts! I cover the following topics: food, transport, culture & religion, environment, education, the best places of Asia, and “unknown” facts about Asia. Enjoy it.

Food

Asia is famous for its delicious food. Coffee shops and restaurants are scattered everywhere. Night markets and food courts do the rest: fantastic.

Top 8 of creeping & crawling food</p><br /><br /><br /><br /> <p>A dog standing lifeless on its legs. After a close look the dog is deskinned and ready to get prepared (Vietnam)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Everything that creeps, walks, flies, or in any way moves probably ends up in the stomach of a Chinese (China)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> I see a hopping toad escaping a basket, it gets caught by a woman, she chops of the head, 2 seconds later the head and butt are separated and the toad is deskinned (China)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> On a night market the star fish on a stick waved with its litlle feet to me to convince me of eating him so it end its suffering (China)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Once a floundering fish, 2 seconds later a bloody massacre. It got sliced in two pieces from head to tail... (China)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> One of the most delicious desserts: blood cake :|<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> As a veggie it’s good to try some tofu... untill you find minced pork meat (China)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Would you like to have a nice donut? Yummie, untill your teeth and tongue hit the pieces of ham (China)

Although China was a disaster for me, the rest of Asia was fairly easy as a veggie. It’s easy to see things still cripling on sticks. Don’t be surprised if a toad is deheaded while you’re just exploring the market. One thing I remeber was that dog being deskinned in Vietnam. Thai food is NOT my thing and dissapointed me. Where the Chinese put pork meet in everything, the Thai manage to “pollute” all their dishes with seafood. In other countries the food trail was a culinary delight. With Vietnamese and Cambodian the best!
