So even a case of Bronchitis can't keep me away from the food here in, Beijing.
I mean, if I were a mean person, I would write about how I get to get dumplings everyday. Handmade dumplings. 10 of them for 4 kuai. How much is 4 kuai you ask? 58 cents. Oh yes, you can be jealous.
And of course, the Beijing Kaoya, aka, Pekin Duck. Can't live here without eating that. Less than $3 US for more duck that you could ever think of. OK, it's not the best duck in the city. But it's prettttttyyyyy
yyy good. Sorry, the photo is upside down...but you can see the meat on the top, then cucumbers, scallions and hoisin soy. The pancakes are out of the frame of the photo.Another favorite dish of the IES kid's here is GongPaoJiDin (Kong Pao Chicken). It's eh...I mean, it's kinda wussy, but if everyone else here is eating it...I will too.
Another food is Chua'r. Which is meat on a skewer. I have photos of that too...but it will have to wait for another post.
OK, tomorrow I leave for IES's long trip around China (it's 15 days long) so I'm not sure how often I'll get to blog...but don't worry...I'll be baaaaccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Glad to hear you are feeling better and are ready(?) for the trip. I'm also happy to hear that the food is getting better. Thanks for the post card. You are doing great with the characters! Some of them got covered by the post office stamping them, so I will do my best to decipher it. It's quite the picture! Hopefully you didn't see it in the snow.
Enjoy the trip!
