Oh my gosh, I am obsessed with mangosteens! I so wish you could get them in the states - of course there are the dried ones at TJ's but it's not the same. And let me tell ya, I felt your pain with the food - let's talk about the one time I ordered what looked like tofu and was actually tofu - stuffed with pork.

We bought some mangosteens in France, too (big mistake) - they had gone bad when we opened them!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-80097720173798102032008-03-15T17:58:00.000-07:002008-03-15T17:58:00.000-07:00Wow, you are so lucky to be able to go on such an ...Wow, you are so lucky to be able to go on such an excursion!

I was nervous on my flight to the UK, so I can only imagine what you dealt with. At least the fruits look lovely!Melisser; the Urban Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375267938564345961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-9618730103878148842008-03-14T13:43:00.000-07:002008-03-14T13:43:00.000-07:00Wow...

The fruit certainly looks yummy, but I'd need a whole lot more than that! Major kudos to you for surviving the not-so-vegan-friendly adventure. :)<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you are back and looking forward to more cooking posts! :-DAshasaralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082289090991930433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-1307714858903042342008-03-13T10:37:00.000-07:002008-03-13T10:37:00.000-07:00Whoa, that was a monster post!!

I am like you in that I don't even really like Chinese food (which as a vegan in a place with few restaurant choices, this narrows it down even more!), but sounds like you did okay. Glad you had bars to supplement with, I'd imagine steamed cabbage wouldn't quite fill you up. Your dragonfruit smoothie looks so cool! Are you gonna post some non-food pictures of your tour in China? I hope so! :-)Vegan_Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946796454115691643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-62001099626776616642008-03-13T07:54:00.000-07:002008-03-13T07:54:00.000-07:00I'm surprised that there weren't plentiful veggie ...I'm surprised that there weren't plentiful veggie options at the restaurants, but I guess that's me being jaded with the chinese restaurants here in the US where you can always count on a decent veg meal.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you survived! How sad that I am part Chinese and have yet to go to China- my grandparents go all the time and they are insisting that I go with them on a tour- after reading your post, I am almost certain that I do not want to do a tour!<BR/><BR/>Welcome home!vkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062889933701288004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32492687.post-5103765880080155222008-03-13T06:38:00.000-07:002008-03-13T06:38:00.000-07:00wow!
