May 2009 - Beijing China
When we arrived in Beijing after our long flight we were so excited that we headed to Wangfujing St which is a huge shopping area for pedestrians. You name it and you could find it there!

 After having a beer we headed to the Night Market for some dinner sampling.

 Wow lots of scorpions, sea horses, star fish, snails etc on sticks. We had donuts (delicious) deep fried cabbage rolls and noodles. Back to the hotel to relax and hit bed around 11PM having been up for 30 hours (not a record)!

    Wow! Great photos! It is interesting what other people eat. I wonder whether I would have been brave enough to sample some of the 'crunchy' stuff - LOL!

    Wangfujing's night market is a sight to behold indeed. I've tried those scorpions hahaha! Crunchy yes... but no taste at all.

    I'm usually not too squeamish about food, but scorpions? I'd be sure I got one with loads of venom and wouldn't be able to relax! What a market! I love the photos.

    No scorpions or other strange stuff for me - I am what we call a piker or a wuss about that stuff! Cheers

    Oh my, this looks like such an interesting place! However, I'm not sure I would be brave enough to try the... delicacies.
