Do you know what’s the limit of your body?

I just return from Muslim Quarter, Xi’An, China. The most memorable experience there was the hidden meat corner. Depending on how you get into the area, it may be quite an adventure to reach the meat stalls. You may get lost in the delicious food in dirty places, in the dry fruits and fascinating objects, the surroundings, but you couldn’t miss the meat stalls.

I think they put them there especially for us, the spoiled foreigners. As an European, it impossible to understand how is it possible to manage the food in such a horrible dirty environment: no running water, the meat is cut on the table? What for if we have the floor? Yeah, the meat is “sharing” same floor as your shoes which just came from the toilet.

And you know what is insane and makes it even more mind twister? They don’t feel sick. I didn’t feel sick either. All this makes me ask myself: with the increase of our life standards, medicine and technology, don’t we miss to know our body? How much of our physical limits did we get to know in our entire life?
