Not the nicest of photos, but .... they eat some strange things here in China. Unusual, let's call them. I'm in Beijing now. It's a nice city, but very very different from Shanghai. If I were to compare the two, I'd say Beijing has a lot of history and, perhaps, importance, but Shanghai has a lot more character.

One of my roommates, a cute Korean boy named ManSu, and I went out one night for Peking (aka Beijing) duck. YUMMMMM. And afterwards, we walked along the main shopping street. We stumbled upon a food market with offerings such as scorpion, grasshopper, starfish, frog, snake, pig testicles, kidneys, beetles ... I tried the snake. Chewy! But not bad. ManSu tried the frog. Yuck! Actually he said it wasn't bad ...
