DrWho Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hahaha, Trey in China?!? I wanna see some pics! Man, that sounds like it could be really fun or really boring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Boring? Highly doubtful -- being thrust into a culture you've never been exposed to before is flat out awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well I would think it'd be boring if you were forced to sit and watch that culture through a window while working 24/7 on whatever is you're being sent there to work on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 I tried just about everything they put in front of me. Most I didn't know what it was. I did try the chicken brain and fish heads. I ended up gaining 7 lbs on the trip. I only sent one thing back. It was a dish in a local ma and pa eatery. there was fried rice on the bottom of the bowl with 1/2 covered with a sweet and sour pork and the othere covered with what I decided was cow snot. It didn't taste to bad, I just could not get past the snot stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is the pool from my room window. It was to cold to go swim. There is a 60 or 70 ft water fall from the pool to the bar window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is me in Mecau. The Portuguese established the city of Macau in 1557 to be a trading post and a bastion of Christianity as well. Thus from the very beginning the fledging town was called "City of the Name of God, Macau". Immediately, the first priests started to build Catholic churches, initially of wood and matting, soon of rammed clay, and later of stone and plaster from the mid-17th century onwards. The ancient Catholic Churches of Macau are dedicated either to the Blessed Virgin Mary (in one of her many titles) and other popular saints, as is common in other places. Most Catholic Churches were built by the Jesuits and other monastic orders often with funds provided by the city and Portuguese Crown. The architectural style is predominantly European baroque with touches of Goan (India), Oriental and tropical features as can be seen in roofs of Chinese tiles, panels of terra-cotta and Eastern motifs carved on some facades. Most of the Catholic Churches today are restored or rebuilt buildings after fires and tropical storms have taken tsheir toll. Many of these churches are still fully functional. The Catholic Church continues to play an important role in the life of Macau. It maintains several hospitals, schools, old people's homes, refugee centres and other charitable institutions. Masses are said every day in most Catholic Churches and schedules are posted on the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 This was taken from the Klipsch Office in China. Notice the building across the way is under construction. The ladder system on the outside is made of bamboo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 A note from one of the menu at the ferry terminal on our way to Mecau. No one had the nerve to try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 29, 2008 Author Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 29, 2008 HK at night. This is from a bar where we had drinks before taking the taxi ride to the train station. I should have had a few more drinks before that ride.

Moderators dtel Posted January 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2008 It must feel strange visiting a totally different culture, thanks for the pictures. Is it hard to communicate or did you have some help from someone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 If it looked like this, you ate duck tongue. You sort of crunch down and pull off the meat from the tendons with your teeth. Very icky....[+o(] Nice Pics Trey. What an awesome oportunity. JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted January 29, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2008 Oh no I don't think so, that even sounds bad, although it could be worse, it could be the other end of the duck ! [+o(] They can't be accused of waisting food that's for sure ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
