Scorpion Special!

We are crossing things off our "crazy foods eaten" list left and right! But as crazy as sea cucumber, donkey, and fried scorpions sound, they do not top our list.  And the "Crazy Food Award" goes to...LIVING scorpions!  On our first night at Yuntaishan, we jokingly mentioned to Kam that we wanted to try scorpions.  The wait staff instantly (instantly, people!) produced the fried arthropods.  Kam then asked if we wanted to eat live scorpions.  Evidently, the proper way to eat a live scorpion (thus out-doing our bosses Jacob, Pete, and Libby!) is to soak them in alcohol and get them drunk. Why not?  We will not forget this night anytime soon! 

It was still crawling!

Down the hatch!

Strangely crunchy.

AJ says with a shrug, "A living scorpion?  NBD."

Does AJ look pleased?

This was tour guide Sherry's first scorpion snack too!

Sherry was a little nervous.

That expression says it all!

Kam can't wait for his scorpion!

Did he really like it?
