Me mam was over the other week!
My time in Asia has seen a variety of visitors tramp in and out, but not once did mum ever look like leaving the shores of Northern Ireland. Leave it she did however, and came over for a tour around China's big two, Shanghai and Beijing. The cynic in me would point out that it could have been a guilt ridden hastily tacked on trip as she was going to Korea to see number one daughter anyway, but I like to think she always intended to come see me!
The major driving force to this holiday was food; we ate a ridiculous amount of food as I tried to cram as much international cuisine into mum as humanly possible during her seven day visit. We got through a staggering array of Chinese meals (sichuan, hotpot, Peking Duck, Dong Bei, Hunnan), Japanese food (sushi, tempura, ramen - no teppanyaki though...), snacks, ice cream, coffees, and even time for a Beijing Hard Rock Cafe meal after walking the Great Wall. Great holiday, great food.
Oh yeah we saw a bunch of old buildings and stuff too.

I see a GINGER BEARD
But she still prefers Korean food. Good for health!
Bollocks she does. Many times throughout the holiday she proclaimed (with a mouth stuffed with lush Chinese fare) "this is much much MUCH better than that Korean muck your sister made me eat."
Sorry Jen. Kimchi just don't cut it in the food capital of Asia.
