A photo blog with descriptions from Sichuan

\"china13\"
Everywhere our crew went in China, like here at this cooking school in Chengdu, we were always greeted with warmth and enthusiasm.

\"IMG_0475.JPG\"
We realize our production assistant Dave aka \”the Duke\” bears a striking resemblance to the largest Stone carved Buddha in the world.

\"china14\"
Parks were the best place to get a feeling for normal life in China which to me was a fascinating as its any of its 2000 year old temples and monuments. Here I walk past a drawing class for beginners.

\"china15\"
Getting your ears cleaned in public is done regularly in the teahouses. Men with these strange little arsenal of tools walk around the tables until someone needs some extra hygiene. The first time I saw it, I just thought ABSOLUTELY NO WAY! But whenever my attitude is like that I think well now you HAVE to do it. So I did it. I\’ve never sat so still in my life.

\"china16\"
We all stand in amazement as Dave eats an \”American\” meal of turkey club and French Fries. That became a running joke in the month of shooting, we always ate Chinese. There are very few other types of cuisines to eat. Don\’t you get sick of eating Chinese everyday? I would ask. Don\’t you just want a piece of pizza or a taco or something? The American crew finally won out on ONE meal and forced everyone to eat a sandwich.

\"china16\"
We had a day off while in Chengdu and on a walk around this busy city who do I run into but my crew.

\"china17\"
My crew was eating at a Shabu Shabu place where each table had boiling bowl of broth and then you would come to this wall of skewered food, veggies and meat, pick out what you wanted and take it back to cook.

\"china18\"
The waiter at the end of the meal would count the number of skewers, add them up and give you your bill.

    Last year we had german roaches. My kids were buggin out at the thought of bedbugs crawling on them in the middle of the night. We called our exterminator and after a few weeks of hard work, he finally got rid of them. We have been pest free since. What a relief.
