I have heard of pickled pigs feet (gross by the way) but what do you do with a chicken foot?

Believe it or not, there is actually a little meat on the leg and toes. Disturbing as that sounds.
Other horrifying dishes I've come across since arriving here two long years ago include:
-Pig Brain
-Snake and shots of snake blood
-Duck feet as well
-Fish heads and eyes
-dog and cat
Everything I've listed here can be ordered off a menu in restaurants. There's more too, just can't think of any off the top of my head.
Johnny Flames is right about mainlander's having some hatred for Japanese. More-so for the textbook issue than the lack of remorse, but both add to it.
I don't agree with Johnny on the fact that Chinese drivers aren't worse (on average, and generally with the older or female population) than American or Canadian drivers. They are just as bad in China as they are in Canada, but it's not totally their fault. The fact is that if the police in China would enforce any kind of traffic laws what-so-ever, the people would learn the rules of the road and some manners. Getting in a taxi here is like going on a roller coaster ride: weaving in and out of traffic, everybody is cutting everybody off so no one really gets road rage, you see cars driving on sidewalks (not kidding), police with their lights flashing 24-7 so you never know that the heck they are doing and would never know if they were pulling you over or not, cars running red lights like there is no tomorrow while 50 people are trying to scurry across. It's absolute insanity. I'm sure a if a Canadian cop came here, he'd have a heart attack.
The "horking" on sidewalks and in public places is nasty, and it's got to stop, but when I first came here with a buddy of mine he was doing the same thing. So every culture has their spitters. It's just not frowned upon here, which I think it should be. I don't know how many times I've been out walking and stepped on something slimy.
I just had my Chinese girlfriend take the
www.alllooksame.com test and she got 5/18, so don't feel to bad if you didn't do good either. She always tells me she can tell the difference between those three countries but now I know the truth.
