Beijing Adventure Part III

We were fed SO much on the trip that I started to wonder how Chinese people stay so small!  For most of the meals the food was placed on a large Lazy Susan type thing in the middle of a table of 8 to 10 people.  They would keep bringing out dish after dish (some that we could recognize and some that we couldn't) until the table was so overloaded that you had to balance the dishes on the edges of the layer below.  Everyone would just spin the Lazy Susan and grab whatever they wanted with their chopsticks when it went by.  They also served yummy hot green tea at every meal.

  Here is Hubs enjoying one of the spreads!

One evening our tour guide also took us to "Wangfujing Street"  a famous strip of street vendors that sells pretty much any kind of food/weird thing you can image on a stick.

Here is a close up to give you a better idea.  I"m not sure what everything was but the little brown ones in the middle are silk worms and the two on the far right hand side are squid tentacles and baby octopus respectively.  Yum! :)

Oh and I almost forgot the starfish and sea urchins!

We had already eaten so "unfortunately" only had room to try the strawberry and kiwi crystallized in sugar.
