1. another taken by shawna, same place. i haven't had the black chicken in other parts of china, though it is pretty popular here. i had it in a delicious tea/soup concoction that consisted of chicken broth, tea leaves, black chicken pieces, and some medicinal roots and herbs.



2. fire-cupping at an eastern medicine clinic... was very intense as you can see
