Our First Full Day in Beijing
... noodles, dumplings, wonton, various meats, and congee (which is like a thin oatmeal but made with a variety of meats or flavors).

Follow the leader
... than a Goose Down duvet) Very tempted this time but practicality ruled supreme and the bank balance breathed a sigh of relief. Home early. Time to relax before walking to the local food market to pick up supplies for more chopstick practise. My turn to cook while Laura did some of that nasty stuff called 'school work'.
