Over two days I traveled through three Chinese airports. Here is some of the more interesting stuff that caught my eye.
Shanghai Pudong Aiport Terminal 2 primarily handles domestic flights and is architecturally quite stunning. Quite expansive and with a wavy wood-planked roof gracefully supported by steel columns.

At an otherwise typical airport convenience store was this cooler...

...open it up if you'd like a chilled crab snack.

Another shop had tasty bagged duck parts...

...as well as something that wholly unpronounceable. By me at least:

Sure is tempting. As are the rubbery chicken feet.

Linyi has a very modern and seemingly oversize airport.

I was told that it has only been open for a week. And found, fresh on the shelves were items such as Bag o' duck:

Chinese PBR:

A gift box of bottled frog eggs:

Bottled scorpions:

yep, scorpions:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJvqmdcNrNBPqK18D1uZQekj59Xxg10R92qfqri7hnGB7y4ereVSDueQQEE_KTuo8Sw2KLq3c9JmI9hLpfjfKEMZq4VsMqjb-8ZxAF20XbaOZFaBzBCPnQMx5azdRaiVAdGEQ9y6LWK_yR/s320/IMG_5249.jpg)
A ¥9800 (US $1471) ginseng root...
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRk6i0t63GYexg8mpPmJktZ5GWSZWSJRJboKUypwUEBOwOIyun78mZgJfFM6LTg6sQ_-_w5EYqU-SbQQaKupPnHQtMDY8JwQh2ayY_28Kewu05uRV4xzlrNuLeum277V4M4ev17WCLU5jp/s320/IMG_5261.jpg)
...but at least it has a certificate of authenticity. The shopkeeper told the guy that I was traveling with that it takes over 20 years for a specimen such as this to grow and that the serial number and certificate made this a highly sought-after root. Oh, and that it cures all too. But that was nothing compared to the deer parts he was also selling. Like a ¥2320 (US $348) antler:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB7A14F-6fSE3Peg92ygtkDbkQ_YHPgpanjwXejkS5SccKaht2pUBbEcFl6g2ocZY3uFg-d4pjONSxnlMvJnnBPUDygh7Uub-bq4N7a-h_uz6N5rftNYNnvLh8k9lLV3KaMH6hIV9l1Tjg/s320/IMG_5257.jpg)
...and an ¥1896 (US $284) deer penis:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_TfmKfeD1NMi5bTmfaIEpggAYvqJLW86Rv_YYYsuTU6rleRAF5j-dnn_0Y1xJqRRcaEBqzRb6uhnfejDkOeGPkQ8kHL0tpkLjnkAr4SKVyIY4FF2Nxi90bTJeviyAnWYmdFNLGaBU-Ijl/s320/IMG_5252.jpg)
Is that a good price for deer penis? I'm sure I could have talked him down to ¥1500 if pressed.
Finally, I was able to experience the joys of pull-tab beer cans in Linyi.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6ObKraGJiAv8TWGmvLlulwpbP9OTSFZpo_RjetEd0QY46gafQmNYKNtasBgKnfrIxnC0vkScGdotaFxthUhpitYlSdskWL14zueIalQcHpjxXXd9GRV_LWtLZjnS1_JoZROqy7HBBgeM/s320/P1020985.jpg)
Mmm... lukewarm Chinese beer. This style of can had long been banished from the States before I was old enough to even think about drinking beer.
Shanhai Pudong Terminal 1 was also massive with soaring architecture.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_6hS_aIGUegfFWN2r9TDNPrWG10rJ00DRcRHMupUG2BV13FNAIBZX9fXZtIZnBdpIkSsYZNTrG8N05b68KwcoWlodEWcTc2hXlJUReATXpppYmCT1fUHxXUy4_haHiZBDHCCY06lYRjC0/s320/P1020990.jpg)
Geared more towards the international traveler, I found these wares on the shelves. Such as Pocky and Pretz in popular flavors such as duck, panda, crab, green tea, unidentifiable brown stuff and mystery fruit:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UOiAVL2eqCjZakRaZ59R1k41f1thX7fDCu4P1zMhG7j_L02yf_cvvNAmKX8280Zc2-veqwby3eiFBok-vU_PDQyl23LxQViH7ZYc82T5hxiXNSugbSMKR45IYwX7VXt1tx64YElYRGfH/s320/IMG_5276.jpg)
A ¥780,000 (US $117,090!!) carving:
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW9EZh2v-MsNYLUWQI_2c59wtLTW_vBTnDKxbdX_OtkqXQcadHwP3k9CPPVoFvL8mSC6tCERYoM2aQwrX2np2jQFL44A7UBgw6Vygc6kJHNHIiNrIcH4LFt5fE5dqlA5tN05zZIg-F9I8y/s320/IMG_5282.jpg)
And a toy urinating dog:

Fill it up with real pee and laugh at your friends.
At a Taipei high speed rail station 7-11, one can buy disposable nuthuggers:

And finally, a couple of random signs:
