I've been working in the Beijing office for the last couple of days, a more modern place than the DC office, that's for sure. My coworker had done a secondment in Beijing for two years so she is familiar with the nice places to eat. We had Macao cuisine for dinner on Tuesday night and she was so excited to eat pigeon. I, of course, gave it a try. It's not awful but I probably wouldn't eat it again. I had the best pork ribs and shrimp wonton soup. I might need to find some drawstring pants if I keep this up!
After dinner, I reconnected with a college friend who also happened to be working in Beijing at the moment. We went to a rooftop bar in Sanlitun, an area where foreigners hang out, and caught up over a couple of pitchers of Singaporean beer. It had been six years since we saw each other, how time flies! The Chinese waiter complimented me on my English speaking skills. :)
Hugs and kisses to all, I miss everyone back home!
When I first saw this picture, I thought it was a giant tarantula....
