The foreign affairs office had a going away dinner for Kris and Jim. We had variety of dishes which included a great mushroom and eel soup (I didn’t eat the eel though), a delicious spicy cabbage dish, a fish dish, shrimp, the best qing cai (a green veg) I have ever eaten and duck tongue. Ben talked Kris and I into trying it (“just forget what it is and take a bite”). We did. It was chewy with an ok flavor but the crunchy things inside gave us the creeps.
