Are we in China again?

Anne and I love authentic Chinese food, so to us one of the best parts of our trip to LA was the plethora of places we could enjoy it. What makes it even cooler is that the Chinese food in LA is cheap. They even had my favorite bubble milk tea (here is a picture of one from China in case you forgot and a link in case you don't know what it is (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_tea ) for $0.75, though they call it boba milk tea in LA. You can get it in Mpls but it costs $4.50 for one of the same size. In an attempt to satisfy our cravings we had a combined 4 dinners/lunches, 8-10 bubble milk teas, and we walked around and made purchases from 3 large groceries stores selling only Chinese products. We visited China Town, little Tokyo (not Chinese related but cool to see none the less) and visited a few cities in which most of the signs were in Chinese and where the people were completely fluent in English and Chinese. The real cool/sad part was that the authentic Chinese food in California was better and about 1/2 to 1/4 the cost of the same type of food in Mpls. We were so jealous.
