Vlog 3: Scorpions + McDonalds

Vlog3

Today we visited the Night Market in Beijing near the Wangfujing subway station.

I guess I wanted to talk a little bit about food in China. The Night Market has a lot of exotic foods. It probably is more of a tourist attraction than anything else. There were a lot of foreigners and a few over priced popular items (scorpions etc), well in Chinese terms. Nonetheless, it was on the menu and Alex and I felt that we would not be getting the full Chinese experience unless we tried one. I bought some McDonalds just in case things went really bad.

Beijing is a rapidly growing city with many fast food restaurants popping up everywhere. Yes, most of my meals consist of the Chinese food; however, American fast food isn't too far away. I will probably talk more about food later. By the way the stinger was edible as well. I hope you enjoyed this short bit.

Thanks,

Gabe
