so how hard is it to be a vegetarian in China? could make a great video, lol

[jiffmartin]

@sam92teg It is not to bad. I will try to make a video about that in the new year. I went to an awesome vegetarian restaurant here in Shanghai a few weeks ago. It was sooooo good!

2 answer u'r first question(what do you picture when you think of China?)...honestly..i think a lot of things..not 1 thing but a lot of things...great wall of china, pollution, shanghai(cuz i've been there), people obsessed with keeping their skin color pale(no matter what-getting dark is not an option), yummy potato dish(i had in a tiny restaurant in xiling), and the beautiful and resilient people of tibet(now that china's occupied tibet for 60 plus years..if i'm right).

@heomak Thanks for your comments! 

[chrismecking]

great video! I think it is always great to check out some new stuff! Specially in China, there is always something new to discover around every corner!

@heomak thanks for the reply heomak, very informative. I will try my luck with a vegan lifestyle in S Korea, but maybe China one day. I am not dogmatic, I just want to eat the healthiest diet possible yet still sample cultural dishes.

@sam92teg i imagine it's not that hard considering i read a blog post by this african american woman married to a chinese guy & living in china and she talks about it being common for the local chinese to be very health conscious eating lots of veggies, drinking green tea, and walking at the park. also, the tibetans when they talk about chinese occupation say that 'the chinese bought vegetables to us"(LOL) cuz traditonally they eat only meat & dairy based products b/c of nomadic lifestyle

@qiranger Yes it looks like it was rebuilt pretty recently.
