Ironic, isn't it? First, they complain it's cold. The next thing you know, they're buying gelato. This is why the China group is just so fun!
As many of us know, China is famous for their array of weird things to eat. Even if it's not so commonly eaten. I saw snakes, scorpions, worms, cockroaches, beetles and such. Jimmy adventurously attempted to try the scorpions. It was too funny watching him walk around helplessly trying to finish what he had bought. And no, I did not try the scorpions. Maybe, next time.
Wang Fu Jing is a famous shopping haven in Beijing. It has up-market brands housed in the shopping malls that line the street. All the way from Armani to Zara. But in between these shopping malls, there are small street markets that are just dying to be explored. I really enjoyed shopping here and am guilty of buying quite a number of items from the area.
Up-market.
The night market.
The above photo is a man that works in the night market. He carves names onto small little stamps. And you can put your Chinese or English name. It is usually stamped in red. I bought 4 from him, each for every family member. I think it's cool that every Chinese should have one for themself. For some reason, it gives me a sense of pride. Maybe you would like one too?
