Mmm, yummy pigeon head

Ok, so I didn't really eat it, but it makes for a fun picture, right?

This was taken at the Red Star restuarant, the one with the Cultural Revolution theme. I just finished reading an amazing book entitled "The Good Women of China" by Xinran. It's about women living through the cultural revolution, mostly in Nanjing. It was so eye-opening and made me regret patronizing the restuarant. The Cultural Revolution is not something to celebrate, not in the least. Some people I spoke with about this issue told me the reason it's "ok" is because the CR is something the Chinese people did to themselves, verses (for example) the Nazi crimes that were commited by Germans against other nationalities. Still, it's disturbing to think that so many people are ignorant about the CR that this type of celebration is seemingly acceptable.
