We are still experimenting with the blog. Let us know if you see anything odd. Are the pictures clear or fuzzy? Can you view the 360 panoramas or are you having technical problems? Do the pages take too long to load?

To help you whip up your own Chinese feast at home, I’m including some recipes we found written on a tourist leaflet we got in Zhaoxing in the Dong tribal regions of Guizhou province:
Pickled Fish
Collect fish from fields, kill and cut them open after washing clean, eliminate the internal organs, then salt it for 3 or 4 days. After the fish absorbing salinity into bodies, put them into a big wooden barrel with some of distiller’s sweet grains, condiments and an appropriate amount of chilli, weigh themdown with stones to keep it out of gas. The pickled fish can be eaten after 3 months Or more.
If you are not into pickled fish, try the following:
Purple-blood Meat
Collect fresh blood from the abdominal cavity of a newlykilled pig or ox, add any vinegar to pickle it for a while to make purple blood. Then slice the burnt of stir-flied liver, heart, stomach or meat, and mix them with the pickled blood, medicinal cornel fruit, chilli powder, prickly ash, tangerine peel, garlic, chopped green onion and salt thoroughly.
Enjoy the meals with a fine cup of traditional oil tea. Bon appetit!
