FOOD IN ASIA

The general idea about chinese food you can find in Spain use to be: fast,cheap and not too much healthy food.

But I can see in China that I really don´t know the chinese gastronomy.

It exist a great culinary richness. The chinese philosophy it´s to find a balance of tastes , textures and colours in the same meal.

Its depends of the region, you can try different styles, spices, but in general its a very complete and healthy food. They don´t eat too much meat ( dog´s meat is not the common food as many people think), ,it´s most usual to find vegetables, soja, mushrooms, soups, fish, seafood and, of course, rice.

The tradition its to drink only tea during the meal, they don´t eat desserts and they don´t stay round the table when the food is finished.

The picture its a selection of some plates that I try during my travel last year.

I would like to know if it is the same in another places in asia.Tania,please, tell us how is the japanese food.

RYOKAN

A ryokan is a traditional japanesse hotel. You can find it everywhere in Japan. Some of them have a wood, glass and bambu structures, paper doors and tatami floors while others have more modern style. There are 80.000 ryokans in Japan and most of them are for japanesse turists eventhough they accept foreing turists.

It´s an atonishng thing that the toilets are shared, and both beds and chairs have no legs, so you have to sleep and eat on the floor.

I was very lucky to enjoy this kind of hotel, there i could feel the japanesse culture.
