I just stumbled upon this article. Very insightful as to what goes on during a Uyghur bachelor party.

What is pollo? Forgive me if you’ve already explained it and I missed it.

YES. I learned that the same rule applies whether you’re with Han or Uyghur. Eat slow and you’ll live to enjoy the evening. Eat fast and you’ll wish you never came!

That’s more food than we had at our going-away party at the Xinjiang restaurant in Shenzhen (which included a whole lamb). Note to self: next time in Xinjiang, eat slower.

I wish you happiness in Xinjiang，I’m a Uighur.Unfortunately, my English not good, can’t share each other’s ideas。

So much food! And great account! I can imagine–what a delicious buffet.

Interesting about the comments they made on the wanted poster.
