Sichaun food is awesome. I enjoy the ones with a ton of chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. There's one that's pretty authentic near where I live here in the LA area. I go there frequently.

I have such mixed feelings about Chengdu.

The couple days I was there, I never saw the sun, withstood an extraordinary lecture from a guy about how evil the Japanese were, and got into the most ridiculous car accident I've ever seen.

I also saw the entire panda reserve which is a must for anyone visiting, and had a string of excellent dinners which put the one I had in Guanzhou on layover to shame.

Chengdu is a funny city.

That looks dangerously spicy...
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

Yah, if you're not used to it, it's really spicy. Sichuan is generally spicier than Mexican. The Sichuan peppercorns has a numbing taste that lets people eat more, though. It's a good combination.

That's what I was thinking, I'd be worried if I had to eat that, looks like I'd have to dunk my head in water or some dairy products after eating that.

a little question: u said chengdu was the biggest city in southwest china, but isnt chongqing (or however it is spelled XD) bigger? most official sources just state that the community of chongqing has 30 M people, but thats obviously including all the area around the three gorges dam. so if u only count the agglomeration itself, which is the bigger city?

Ah, Chongqing is bigger sorry I forgot after the three gorges dam migration it added millions of population.
No more SKT1, it's SKP2.

Indeed. One bite can potentially send you to drink litres worth of water.

It should be good, I'm looking forward to it. I'm flying into Chengdu on the 8th, and leaving on the 16th to spend a week in Beijing. Hope to see you guys there!
