China - Chengdu Food, Table Setup with Lazy Susan

I'll also be categorizing food into its own group for posting.  These people aren't from our tour, but snuck one in from above to show what a typical meal setup looks like for every lunch and dinner we had in China.  The big "lazy Susan" in the middle was used for service around the table, but you had to watch it with the serving utensils lest they knock your drink over as the thing was turning.  Occasionally you'd get a conflict when someone wanted it to go clockwise and someone else wanted it to go the other direction.  But otherwise this is a very good arrangement, with every dish available equally to all.

At a few of the restaurants the lazy Susan was motorized and turned slowly on its own.  Then if you wanted something gliding by it would be necessary to hold it in place while getting your food.  It was hilarious when someone would actually try to make it go in the opposite direction, not understanding why it was fighting to turn the other way.
