[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,249240]If the brothers are chain smokers, I am willing to bet that your cigars will be gone in less than a fort night. I brought with me some sweet tip cigars as presents and in a flash they were all gone. If you want to give moonshine, may I suggest a really fine Chinese rice wine? If they are like my dad (50’s) they would save it for special occasions (unless they got drinking issues) so it would not be gone that quick, and even perhaps they may think kindly of you while they sip on that. Oh and just throwing it out there, if you want to go for the king of Chinese delicacies, its got to be fresh abalone. I am talking about the huge ones, the size of a cantaloupe. It is illegal to buy it here in California, the only way of getting a hold of one is paying the permit fee to catch it in the bay which is a long arduous task and a dangerous one. There are unscrupulous dealers of abalone known within these communities and the average price of the type that I described is about 80 bucks. Ha Ha, if you can get a hold of some sea cucumber and some fine Chinese rice wine, that could be the nice dinner you were looking for. Oh and just to let you know, if you do decide to give sea cucumber, it’s a good idea to try to get it here in the states if possible because it seems that the ones available here are the best quality they put out to export to the US and whatever is left is sold domestically which I got a hold of some and it turned out really bad because of the dehydrating process it went through. And if I could make a suggestion on the pictures that you want to send to your girlfriend? If your girlfriend lives in a humid area, it is probably a good idea to get the pictures laminated. When I visited family in Guangzhou, they had all the special pictures laminated and the ones that were not laminated stuck to the other pictures or deteriorated quickly. So I hope nobody takes offense to this, just got to put my 2 cents out here so that Griz can get the family relations going on. Danny [/quote]
