Chinese food is full of surprises

Add camel to the list of exotic meats I've had the pleasure of trying in China! Donkey, eel, and water buffalo are a few others, but those were in years past. Last night our host's childhood friend invited us to a traditional Guangdong meal of rice congee hot pot. There's a big pot of boiling rice porridge in the middle of the table, and they bring raw meats and vegetables to dip in it and cook. We enjoyed camel, fish, goose, and mushrooms in our congee. We're having some wonderful experiences with our hosts, and we continue to form deeper and deeper friendships with our colleagues here. What a great trip!
