I know what you mean. Drinking stuff that comes out of a funny looking
thing underneath a cow is not something that I would come up with by
myself. It all seems rather barbaric.

My understanding is that the practice may have come from the peoples in
Northern Asia. I guess they did that as a matter of survival since the
area had limited food options. What's our excuse? :-)

My skewed vision of HK comes mostly from movies like Chung Hing Sam Iam
and Stephen Chow flicks like Sik san - gosh those are funny! I like to
contemplate expired cans of pineapple... guess I'm messed up. :-)
Anyway, I hope to visit your town before I die.
