"Get a goose instead. That's what we used to do. So much nicer to eat. Ironically, turkeys are cheap as chips where I live in Canada now but a goose is insanely expensive! Go figure ..."

"There was an American dude doing this years ago. People used to hype him on the old Asiaexpat board. Went to his house to check it out once. Was laughably mediocre for the 250 quai he wanted. That money 5 or 6 years ago would have bought one hell of…"

"Goose intestines are really some of the nicest tasting things around. Country-style Cantonese restaurants should do them. Ngau Cheung. Nice and mild with an interesting texture."

"As a Canadian (formerly) living in Guangzhou, I highly recommend the Blackberry. It's a heck of a mobile telephone."

"There's one in Zhuhai called the imperial hotsprings. Really posh Japanese style. Liked it quite a bit at few years ago. Not sure what it's like now."

"'Mai Si Lo' a little alley restaurant near Gongyuanqian. Mi Shi Lu is the name of the street its on. Everything's under 30rmb and a great reflection of original, authentic Cantonese food. Whole fried mantis shrimp, zucchini in duck…"

"That's a good point, Rob. Pretty sure that has something to do with it. Don't know of an airline that 'officially' lets you keep your tray table down with food and beer on it during landing."

"Wow. Get out of Tianhe much? Because if you think Cantonese food sucks in Guangzhou, you're doing it wrong. Get chummy with some Cantonese people who grew up here and they might see it in their hearts to show you the error in your ways by…"
