[quote=GRIZ326,244833]Now a funny story about my first trip to China in 1978: My first evening that I was permitted off of the ship, I walked to the end of the dock and there was a shop with many beautiful bottles fill with liquids. Of course, everything was written in Chinese but I presumed that it must be a liquor store. So I bought the two nicest looking bottles in the little shop and proceeded to drink them with my ship mates. Within a few hours we were terribly sick and thought we were dying. Just about then, our only Chinese-American ship mate came by, looked at the bottles and began laughing hysterically!!! And this always quiet and polite young woman was LAUGHING AT US!!! She told us that we had just consumed two bottles of medicine for farm animals!!! :-) I guess we were lucky not to have died.[/quote]
