Day 4 - Tasty Beijing Duck!
finally got my chance to walk ard the expo. Geee the quality of the models here are good not sure if they are from japan or from china..hhmm Seems like the in thing for expo here is have models to play classical instruments like violin...if a guy is playing..it wont draw any crowd hahaa
Exhibition day was cut short , due to the arrival of nation leader (guo jia ling xiu). Seems like he could not make it at night thus everyone has to leave the place at 3pm. Exception to only about couple of exhibition.
with over 20 million population in beijing alone. What could be worst then waiting for a cab? especially after the exhibition? almost wanted to give up after 40 mins waiting. Then out of the blue a small car..not resembling any cabs we see on the road ask us if where we are going. Yes its the Black car (hei che) to the rescue. These are the unlicense taxi drivers . Point to note you have to bargain the price before taking off. Else you might get rip off.
Later at night, Me and boss decide to have a taste of that famous beijing duck. So down we went to da tung roasted duck restuarant. We had like 3 dish of veg / fish and that beijing duck was served by a chief who cut and skined the duck right infront of us. There are like 6 sort of condiments that we have to roll it ourself. The duck was great. skin was crisp and almost melt in my mouth. the meat was soft and tender.
Later we went down to a supermarket next to the Bai nuo complex (a computer complex which was kinda late so it wasnt open). The supermarket is huge with lotsa variety of food stuff ...bought some pistachio and beers ...
notice that in beijing almost all entrance are rotating doors type..wonder why..i get a headache just goin thru them
Okay gotta go...till next time
Floating grape juice! ..and i mean stop motion!!
