My brother's boyfriend/husband's from El Salvador. His mom makes great chile rellenos, but her pollo tamales are the BOMB. Potatoes, olives...I didn't think anyone on my flist would even know what a Papuseria is. :)
What was it like living in Hong Kong? I met the cutest couple from there when I was at SJSU. Mary was a little doll, and her boyfriend was nice. She would help him with his english during the writing class we all had together. One day she was absent, and I ended up helping Benny with the assignment we had that day.

The restaurant I love is called El Chinaco. They have great chile relleno burritos, pupusas, and platanos. Good stuff! I think homemade tamales are some of the best things on Earth.
Hong Kong is a neat city. I really had to get used to the serious population density. There are so many people packed up against you, and everything is so small. When I came back to California I felt like I was going to melt away like the Wicked Witch because there was all this ROOM all the sudden. Nothing pushing up against me or closing in on me to keep me together.

I don't think I'd react well to so many people pushed up against me all the time. In a mosh pit, listening to thrash music's a different story...
I wouldn't call the two papuserias in my hometown (Hayward,CA) actual restaurants. More like El Salvadoran fast food places. There're tables where you can sit and eat, but I think most people take their orders to go.
Yes, homemade tamales are awesome. You can find them just about everywhere here in CA. I also like Filipino lumpias. They're like spring rolls except they usually only have meat in them.
I think I'm lucky to have grown up, and live in such a culturally diverse area. Still haven't liked the goat I've eaten. I've tried it from Filipino and Nigerian cooks. I've heard that Jamaican's do a good job of preparing that animal though.

Kurdish family walks on all fours -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.physorg.com/news11499.html
Scientists told the Times of London the family might provide invaluable information on how humans evolved from four-legged hominids, developing the ability to walk on two feet more than 3 million years ago.
Two daughters and a son have only walked using two palms and two feet, with their extended legs, while another daughter and son occasionally manage a form of two-footed walking, the Times reported, noting all five can stand upright, but only for a short time.

Also, Guangxi Province in China is really neat.
