olemanoman1950 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 My last trip to Guangzhou, they had a dog sniffing the bags. When he got to my carry on he made a few extra passes around it. The Officer asked me if I had any fresh fruits or Plants in the bag. I told him No just my SO's familys Chocolate Fix. Link to comment
Dan R Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I'll expand this question...what's other good "American" stuff to bring? I think US candy is terrible (to sweet) most foods are bad (too much sugar) and other stuff is just plain nasty or bland. Americans know how to barbecue well...and that's about it... What I like to eat I usually pick up at the Southeast Asian or Korean markets around here. Also the Ukrainian grocery down the street or the German deli by work. On another note about getting things "stashed", my grandmother used to sneak packed hams and cheese and wine bottles and coffee and such into our luggage when we would come back from Germany. The US customs agents don't really have much of a sense of humour about these sorts of things. The biggest complaint I had about my last trip to China was the harassment I got from US customs (Minneapolis). Hopefully San Fran will be nicer about that.146760[/snapback]ahhh yes, we Americans love our bbq's and we do it well. Therefore, I am working on how to get a grill and charcoal pass the Chinese Custom Officers 146762[/snapback]You couldn't find a grill or charcoal in China Every evening there were vendors on the streets grilling sticks of meat. Oh the lamb skewers were good Link to comment
