Tap water in China?
DO NOT drink any tap water, even if the hotel says it is okay, supposedly you can now drink tap water in Shangahi, Pudong district, I know the American who helped the district purify it, BUT, when I asked him if he and his family drink it, he said, "are you kidding no way", the reason is that he has cleaned it for drinkin BUT, he cannot purify it from chemicals and other polutants, just bacteria and such use bottled water as much as you can, I suggest that you use the brand nong fu or nestle or watsons or wa ha ha, even with bottled water you have to be careful, we was conducting an English summer camp and my teachers were getting bad stomach aches, one day one of the teachers was lookng around the school and he found a worker filling the 5 gallon water jugs with a hose, AAAAHHHHH, when we told the school they said that we could have bottled water from the snack store
How can tv chefs chop and cook raw onions without their eyes watering and stinging?
Essentially, though, what’s going on in cutting the onion is that you rupture cells, which release compounds that mix with your tears to form sulfuric acid. This burns, surprise surprise. Of course, it doesn’t affect everyone equally...presumably some TV chefs could be relatively immune. As Alton Brown points out in the clip below, you can wear goggles, or spritz your cutting board with vinegar, or simply cut the onion near an open flame, which sucks in many of the offending vapors and burns them off. Also, use a sharp knife so fewer cells are ruptured. I've seen TV chefs work near open flame, and you can be sure their knives are surgical-grade. Finally, the chemicals that turn to acid in your eye are concentrated in the root end of the onion. This cutting method minimizes cutting of the root end, and it's the one I see used most often on TV. I use it myself, and it really does help.

I have been experiencing vision black outs, dizziness, headaches EVERYTIME I stand up. What's going on?
Orthostatic hypotension--also called postural hypotension-- is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded, and maybe even faint. Orthostatic hypotension is often mild, lasting a few seconds to a few minutes after standing. However, long-lasting orthostatic hypotension can ba a sign of more serious problems, so talk to your doctor if you frequently feel lightheaded when standing up. It's even more urgent to see a doctor if you lose consciousness, even momentarily. The most common symptom of orthostatic hypotension is feeling lightheaded or dizzy when you stand up after sitting or lying down. This feeling, and other symptoms, usually happens shortly after standing up and generally only lasts a few seconds. Orthostatic hypotension symptoms include: Feeling lightheaded or dizzy after standing up Blurry vision Weakness Fainting (syncope) Confusion Nausea When you stand up, gravity causes blood to pool in your legs. This decreases blood pressure because there's less blood circulating back to your heart to pump. Normally, special cells (baroreceptors) near your heart and neck arteries sense this lower blood pressure and counteract it by triggering your heart to beat faster and pump more blood, which stabilizes blood pressure. In addition, these cells cause blood vessels to narrow, which increases resistance to blood flow and increases blood pressure. The treatment for orthostatic hypotension depends on the underlying cause. Your doctor will try to address the underlying health problem--dehydration or heart failure, for example-- rather than the low blood pressure itself. For mild orthostatic hypotension, one of the simplest treatment is to sit or lie down immediately after feeling lightheaded upon standing. Your symptoms of orthostatic hypotension usually disappear. I hope this helps you. And good luck.
