See the world, touch the world...: January 2007

The grand opening day!!!

Congratulations!!! Meet my new web site where I will describe all my travels and share my impressions with all of You. Since this day my work is available for everyone and everybody can write their comments for every topic! As you can see, some part of the texts here has English duplicates, and even the page interface is in English also... I do it for you, my friends, who not necessarily live in Russia and not necessarily speak Russian. ;) Actually not all of the articles have been translated into English yet, but I will do my best in future!!! (And moreover I am gonna put even Chinese version after a time ;)) This post will have special link, and here you can leave all kinds of comments and questions which are not connected with other articles. I hope, this project will grow and rise in time, and interest more and more people! So... Let's get started!!

Strange and exotic stuff I ate all over the world

Hello!!! And here I wanna amaze you with all kinds of nasties and other weird things people eat all over the world. I will taste everything by myself and as far as possible I will post pictures here. The list is gonna be widened, so, don't miss something interesting and really delicious! ;))

1. The first place is for my lovely fried grasshoppers from Thailand. I really like it! It tastes like dried shrimps and similarly crunchs in the teeth

	2. And right after we have dried cockroaches! And again from the same place! (Actually, that were not real cockroaches but some insects allied them) The taste is really hardly describable... We were eating them breaking into two parts - belly and body separately. Legs and wings to garbage can! So, belly was disgusting, but body had kind of good taste. It gives a special effect - it obduces whole mouth like the mint flavour does. Perhaps it contains some essential oils... Well, in short, if you die of hunger in Thailand - cockroaches will save you! ;)

3. Snake soup, or rather 'just killed cobra soup'. And this is Taiwanese exotics now. It looks and tastes like chicken, but has really thin almost fishy bones.

	4. Crazy cocktail mixed from snake's blood, poison, bile, and ginseng tincture, served with that snake soup. And you must take two pills of snake oil for completeness after everything!!! Admirable drink, that increases the male power according to Chinese belief! ;))

5. Snake skin salad. Spicy and unusual!

6. Wonderful fried frogs cooked in chinese style. So, now I need to try how it is cooked in French cuisine! ;) And what to say about it... Tastes like chicken! :))

	7. Shark's fin soup - the famous delicacy. Everyday the great Mao Zedong ate this soup, which is considered as saving men's sexual power. (Actually all Chinese food is aimed at strengthening the man's power ;))
