oh, i see how this food can be really hard for you. i can sympathize with that. i stayed in sichuan for a year. the food was difficult at the beginning. every dish was so spicy. after a while though, i got used to the taste, and now i won't consider anything a real dish if it isn't spicy.
well, not every chinese can handle spicy food in the way people from sichuan and guizhou provinces can. back where i come from, people don't eat a lot of papers and chilies.
