Too authentic food


Saturday was a good day. We slept late and wandered around Wudaokou where we got some Korean food. This was still not authentic enough even though they used octopus and squid which according to my father are inedible and filler. Personal I am a big octopus fan, at least in Korean food but to each their own.

We went to the Beijing University and sat by the lake with no name and had cigars. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon. Also there was a sidewalk which seemed to be one of the busiest thoroughfares in the university. We kept watching cars trying to pass each other and say lots of people wreck their car bodies.

We then met up with Miao and went to a Western Chinese restaurant for lunch where the food was way too authentic. The beer was warm and the chicken had bones in it. Also there were different varieties of horse on the menu. Regardless it was not a big hit with my dad even though I thought the food was good.

After lunch we headed towards the performance hall and saw a traditional music performance with a woman playing zither and a man playing many types of flutes. It was really good. They mixed up the solo and duet performances to keep you interested.

Afterwards we went to restaurant after restaurant looking for ice cold beer because warm beer just does not cut it. finally we found one and after a couple drinks and some ice cream we headed home and went to bed.
