Something that I forgot to mention is that Eastern medicine is super cool. Literally. Weird factoid, China has the oldest documented practice of medicinal cannibalism ever. It's totally true. It continued into the 20th century even. You see it in literature, particularly Amy Tan's books. Recommendation, read The Bonesetter's Daughter and The Joy Luck Club. Both are great books. Both mention medicinal cannibalism.




What's great about both books, is that the reference isn't super obvious. Well, it's not shouting at you. I hope someone enjoys these books. They are fantastic.
