Risk and rewards
Once while roaming I saw a vendor selling something that looked like a pizza. A thin one - but very similar - the topping was some powdered black stuff. I went to him and pointed (no other way :-( ) He pulled out a hot one from an oven wrapped it up in a paper leaving a small portion open - signifying that it needs to be eaten like an icecream cone. "..Duoshao.." ? How much ? He didn't bother to reply to my chinese (it must've sounded like latin to him) - indicated two. Just two yuans? Too cheap - and I was not very sure if I was right in buying that stuff. [This is something I have seen - if you get something very cheap after a heavy bargain, it usually is worth the price :-(] But I paid and hesitntly bit the stuff - it was not a pizza - but a hard roasted nan with black pepper+salt peppered and a dash of soy oil over it - Overall combo was just too great. Once again experienced the saying - risks and rewards go together !!
