Chinese Alcohol

Yesterday Per and I ventured out into the city around noon. We went to eat at a Korean BBQ restaurant which was really yummy and pretty fun too! I think people helped us a lot because we were white and were doing something wrong. They kept changing out our grill, and I didn't really notice them doing that with anyone else. Lunch for two people with three beers was 135 RMB which is like 20 bucks. Super cheap.

Then we wandered to a Japanese department store, looked around, and bought some random food. I got some dried fish in a bag, total miss, and some chocolate cookie type things, not too bad. Then we bought some alcoholic beverages.

My SUPER cute mini can of Asahi beer next to the normal sized bottle:
And sparkling chardonnay in a can! 1st class:

Then we went to a really delicious dinner at a Japanese restaurant, kinda like BeniHanna (sp?). It was super yummy. All you can eat and drink for 20 bucks a person. We had to dine and run though because I had to pee really bad and all they had at the restaurant were holes in the ground...no thank you! Not really ready for that yet!

Today we went to Gou Bu Li, which is a dumpling restaurant thats supposed to be kinda famous. I liked it a lot. I'm a big fan of dumplings. I ordered pork, Per was too chicken to eat that so he ate vegetable dumplings instead. Both were good! We will wait to see how my stomach handles pork dumplings before I give a final verdict! So far so good though.

We also went to a giant grocery store. Smelled nasty, but had a lot of intersting things. I will have to go back on my own to explore and sample some weird stuff :)

Tomorrow Per will go to work and I will try to explore a little. The only hard part of exploring is crossing the streets. I'll just have to cross when some other Chinese people are going :)
