The Art of Living...

There are a few things that I've found to be an art here in Beijing- eating, shopping, and bicycle riding. Eating is not very challenging -unless you're vegetarian... "meatless" often contains little bits of meat. Even still- eating on Wafujing Die (avenue) is quite an experience with all the food on skewers- including goats testicles. I passed on that... but I did try some fried milk and probably the best tofu I've ever tasted! Bike riding is also an adventure- even on campus (above) . Imagine how I felt when I took a ride on a pedicab (my view above) in the city! It was actually a pleasant ride. Shopping (and bargaining) is also fun- and tiring! Tonight we are off to Shanghai...
