I've been wondering that myself.  I was a kid when expo 86 was in Vancouver.  We went and I seem to remember having a good time.  I'm kinda wondering if visiting the expo in July would be worth doing.  I read that the Canadian pavilion has virtual bike rides through Canadian scenery.  That might be a great way to introduce her to some of Canada.  I'm thinking Shanghai might be very expensive and busy through the summer though.

Kung Fu chain? Jackie Chan?  I thought that was Bruce Lee? But very informative.

Heh, maybe it is Bruce Lee, I like Jackie Chan as he's from Hong Kong which is Cantonese so it says that to me, its not really important though in the grand scale of things!!

Thanks for the nice comments, sorting and choosing which photos to use and which to leave out took ages!

He is Bruce Lee. He is regarded as the King of Kong Fu. Zheng means steamed and sounds like the pronunciation of real (zhen). Kong Fu sometimes means martial arts, and sometimes it means skills. So Zheng Kong Fu means real steams skills in food. Almost all food in Zheng Kong Fu restaurant is steamed food. You know Chinese like to use homophone for some special things. You will never understand it without the explanation of a local people. :icon_cheesygrin:

When knowledge is recieved from one so lovely, it becomes a double pleasure. Thanks Zhuzhu - and that Irishman is one lucky fellow. :sleepy:

Ya the suit he is wearing gives it away as being Bruce Lee. That is the gym strip he wears in Enter The Dragon. Quentin Tarantino pays tribute to that movie in his Kill Bill movie when he has Uma Thurman wear the same tracksuit.

has anyone in their travels to china seen the KFC rip company that has an old lady
that looks like the original    actually cheaper and food is good

[maxx]

I'm not sure Ted.I know there is a knockoff of KFC in JiuJiang in Jiandxia province.The food isn't bad.And it is real cheap.

[ttwjr32]

looks just like kfc but it is a grandma instead of the sanders

[Lain]

This is too funny.

One of the places that the lady whom I am going to see mentioned is that she loves KFC.....I hope she meant the real one! :icon_cheesygrin:

[ttwjr32]

kfc is a little different here than in the states with some of the items on the list
but overall not bad and cheap

[David5o]

.


The original and the knock-off establishments are both pretty good and pretty cheap too. So if you like that sort of thing, it doesn't matter much, as both are as good as each other....

I ate in the knockoff one but I did not realized it was the knockoff until we left the restaurant. :icon_cheesygrin: The food was ok. I mean it is just fried chicken. How bad that can be made?
I have heard of the kung fu restaurant chain and always want it to try it but I did not see any around GZ, until I saw this picture we took together in March.:icon_cheesygrin:[attachment=2106] (Check behind us.)

Andy that picture looks like Beijing street in GZ Did you check out the temple at the end of the street?It was pretty cool.Also where your sitting looks like.The place where the road is cut.And you can see the roads from the different dynasties.

The Bruce Lee restraunts are all over Guandong province.I think I have even seen 1 or 2 in Beijing.

[ttwjr32]

Maxx that is exactly were he is at.  Andy they are all over the place here in GZ.
from really big ones to small ones tucked in the middle of the street block. also i
am starting to see a lot of Subways opening up around GZ. They seem to be a hit
right now with the locals as its buy one get one free lol!!!!

[Andy]

Yeah, that is right. It is the Beijing street. I have to confess that I am really a bad tourist because all I can see and remember is that lovely lady on my side.:icon_cheesygrin: I remember something was at the end of the street, but for some reason I had a hotel in my mind.
