Unique Food Safety In Chinnese



Food Safety In Chinnese

The above street scene may tempt you to try some of the local fare on the street. If you are new to travel in Asia or China, you should refrain from eating on the street until you know what you are getting into. The food will likely taste quite different and actually be quite different than anything you have had before. Food safety should be the major factor in your decision to abstain. Food safety issues can arise around chemicals and contaminants, bacteria, and disease. Poor food cooking, preparation, and storage, as well as improper cleaning and disinfecting of cooking supplies is common. A food related ailment can ruin a business or pleasure trip really fast. In our opinion, eating food directly off the street is just not worth the risk.
In declining order of preference, your choice for food should be:
·         Major, international hotels
·         Major international restaurant chains
·         Well known local restaurants
·         Local residents homes, an unlikely occurrence as their homes are usually quite small.
Chemical contaminants on food: Avoid eating raw vegetables and unpeeled fruits. These foods are usually washed in local water. The local water can contain a wide variety of harmful bacteria, and is often untreated or treated insufficiently.
Avoid salads, especially during your first few visits. If you must eat salads, try to limit it to top hotels.
Whenever possible, select food that is cooked.
You also will find major differences in style of cooking and taste. There is Cantonese, Shanghanese, Sichuan, to name a few. Some are spicy some are not. But if you enjoy Chinese food at home you will come back with two comments: 1. Chinese food in China tastes significantly different than back home. 2, The local cooking tastes good.
It will be difficult, if not impossible to find an eggroll and fortune cookies. The closest to an eggroll will be a spring roll, much smaller. Fortune cookies will likely not be found either.

5 Unique Trees



Here are five particularly unique trees; They live on a timescale that is hard to relate to human life, and because they act so slowly we often do not notice what they are doing. Trees are boring.

1. Rainbow Eucalyptus




The Rainbow Eucalyptus is a tree with bark so brightly colored that it is almost hard to believe that it is not an elaborate practical joke. This tree, native to the Philippines, sheds the outer layer of its bark often to expose new, green bark underneath. As the bark ages it goes through several color changes from green, to blue, to purple, to orange, and finally to brown before being shed. Because the bark is shed in irregular patches the tree displays a collection of all these colors at once giving a kaleidoscopic effect. They can be grown in many places which will not experience frosts but in the Philippines they are mostly cultivated for use in paper manufacture and not as decorative trees.


2.  Dragon Blood Tree



The Socotra Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Somalia, is home to the Dragon Blood tree. The Dragon Blood tree is unusual for a number of reasons. Its trunk is bare and branches only at the top, ending in sharp spiky leaves. This unusual appearance is due to the Dragon Blood tree belonging to the monocotyledons, the same group of plants as grasses, rather than dicotyledons, which are more common amongst trees. As well as an unusual exterior, the trees also reveal an unusual interior; once pierced bright red sap oozes out. The crimson sap, called Dragon Blood, is dried and then used as a medicine or a dye. While the inhabitants of Socotra still use it as a panacea, the sap is mostly used in the West as a red varnish for violins. 
3.      3. Root Bridges

Root bridges are a specialized form of arboriculture practiced in the forests of northern India. The rubber trees of the Cherrapunji have been exploited for centuries by the Khasis people to grow their own bridges over streams and rivers. To grow your own bridge you need to hollow out a log, lay the log over the gap you wish to cross, and direct the roots of the tree to grow into the log. The roots will grow until they find solid earth to attach to, anchoring the bridge. Once the roots have formed a bridge, soil and stones, or other wood, are laid over them to protect them from damage as people cross.
4. Chapel Oak
Le Chêne Chapelle (The Oak Chapel) in Allouville-Bellefosse is an oak which has been carved out to house two chapels within its enormous trunk. The oak itself is approximately 800 years old, and the chapels were added in the 1600s. A lightning strike burned the core of the tree but the tree survived and remained standing, allowing the local priests to build their chapel within it. Today the tree is beginning to show signs of its age and the pressures of housing a religious site, and so requires supporting struts. Despite this, the chapel remains in use and a mass is celebrated twice a year at the site. To reach the upper of the two chapels there is a staircase which winds around the trunk.

5. Sculpted Trees
Arborsculpture is the use of living trees to create a desired shape or structure, something like bonsai on a grand scale. Axel Erlandson is considered the greatest of all arborsculptors and his ‘Circus trees’ are still popular attractions. Through directing the growth of the tree while alive, it is also possible to create unique pieces of furniture by harvesting the wood once it takes on the desired form. While Erlandson’s work, seen here (http://www.arborsmith.com/treecircus.html), is the most commonly cited when arbor sculpture is discussed, there are many living practitioners.
