I hate tea, and I really hate when people are surprised I don't want to drink tea, like it's the fuckin' greatest thing in the world or something (what's wrong with just drinking plain old room temperature tap water - boiled first of course here in China?). Anyway, this tea was interesting because it had stuff floating in it. Usually stuff floating in the tea (hair, crud, etc.) is just another reason why I don't want to drink it, but this time it gave a nice flavor and was a bit sweet. As a side note I did meet one guy who filled my glass tea bottle with tea and it turned out to be awesome because it was really sweet and perfect, he knew why I liked it too, when I told him how good it was he said "candy" in English, but that is a different story, this is supposed to be about how I hate tea.
7 kinds of Haw. Haw is my favorite sweet in China, and one of the only things about the country I'm sure to miss.

The highlight of a day in Bangkok, a free vegetarian breakfast at the Sikh temple! And always with a sweet dish too!
The first good thing I found to eat in Cambodia. This is yams and bananas cooked in honey and shreaded coconut. It's sweet and delicious and very filling, and only US$.50
My first meal in Vietnam after not eating for about 36 hrs. Eggs and peanuts over noodles with some greens. It was really good, and it's only US$.75
Another sweet, the ball things have coconut chunks inside them.

Zili Village, part of the Kaiping Diaolou UNESCO site
The Kaiping Diaolou are these tower houses built by Chinese coming back to their villages after working overseas (mostly in the US and Canada) around the end of the 1800's and begining of the 1900's
Also part of the Zili village site is the Fang Clan Watch Tower, and when I went the Fang Clan was there having a picnic!
The tower is on a hill surrounded by graves of the Fang Clan
And of course they invited me to eat with them. They were very sweet, it was a great moment!

I did a lot of hiking in Korea, one time when I came down from the mountain like some Buddhist hermit, a group of picniking Koreans down below fed me. It was really good! They also let me take all of the leftovers with me!
In Korea a car full of kids driven by two women picked me up outside a village. The kids spoke pretty decent English for ages 12 and 13. The little boy in back is 9. Two other kids aren't pictured.
