I was in China, Shenyang before they let in foreigners I am not sure if I ate dog or not but most of everythign looked quite dodgy at that time - fish was lying on cobbles where dogs had peed and no one seemed ot mind - I was with my friend who was a health visitor and wanted to close china down but we ate at the university and it was pretty ok except that everyone looked at us all the time because they hadnt seen the likes of us before
maybe they thought you looked tender
