Okay, my first "true" Chinese dinner with our great Correspondant Peng Jie. We went to this shopping mall were you buy a card (of a certain value) and then choose what you want. Mind you that this shopping mall is 6 floors (since Beijing has 16+ million people) and the restaurant was on the 6th floor. It is huge. Want a Baby Grand (check), want a motorcyle (check), want an English Bulldog (check), want a pair of sunglasses (check) -- anything. Good thing I work in the escalator/elevator industry -- with it being on the sixth floor and I had just walked 1,000 miles in the Forbidden City. Anyway, okay, so I admit that I choose that to eat. But, you didnt see what my options were. Love the "whole fish". Eyes, scales and everything -- at least it had sauce. The one in Moscow was plain and broiled with a shot of Vodka on the side. All in all it was okay. I ate with chopsticks (of course) and was told I had to master it by the second day or it was offensive to locals! Okay, breakfast is all chopsticks for me. Note to self -- WAKE UP 3 HOURS EARLY FOR PRACTICE!
