One of my friend’s uncle took us to a really good traditional Beijing hot pot. It was delicious. The day before I came, my friends had had dinner at a Peking duck place they couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. So now I have to go back to Beijing some weekend to try the duck.
Beijing’s oldest post office with Daniel and James
Beijing’s oldest bridge
We also visited a couple of street foods where they sold the most bizarre things
I’m curious to know how you eat a starfish. I thought it was all a shell.
Anyone hungry? Longhorns, spider kings, sheep penis, centipedes, pupae….
The scorpions were quite popular and they were still MOVING!!!!!!! >< I don’t think I could ever be able to eat that.
what I did try was chou tofu (stinky tofu) and it wasn’t too stinky. It tasted almost like regular tofu. Stinky tofu is a form of fermented tofu. From wikipedia, “The traditional method for producing stinky tofu is to prepare a brine made from fermented milk, vegetables, and meat; the brine can also include dried shrimp, amaranth, greens, mustard greens, bamboo shoots and Chinese herbs. The brine fermentation can take as long as several months.” You can just imagine how smelly it is! You can smell from very far.
There was some kind of street mob in front of a church. Old people, young people, everyone was dancing and apparently they do this almost every night.

I enjoyed Beijing a lot even though it was only for a day. So far I liked it a lot more than Tianjin, there’s simply so much more to do. I will definitely be visiting again!
