Last night in Beijing

     On our last day in Beijing we ran around all day handling some business. By the time 4 o'clock came along Dyson and I were over it. We still had some souvenir shopping to do. Our friend Vince was kind enough to pick us up and take us to the markets where we could bargain and get stuff for cheap. Dyson even managed to get some prescription eyeglasses from Dr. Feelgood for $35.00. The lady checked his eye sight, figured his vision, and filled his prescription in some knock off Ray Ban frames in about 20 minutes. I don't think she was an optometrist but Dyson said he'd never seen so clear in his life when he put on the glasses. Are we getting ripped off in the U.S. or what? Dys said the only reason he never got glasses back home is because his medical didn't cover it, so it would cost an arm and a leg for a pair of prescription eye glasses.

     After we pau shopping, Vince took us to one of his favorite local hot pot restaurants. Perfect because it was starting to get cold outside! We had to wait outside for about 30 minutes freezing our balls off, but it was well worth it!

Beef or sheep!

There were two sides to the hot pot. The spicy side (red) and not spicy (clear).

This was fresh baked bread. Braaaahh it was soooo good! It was super crispy and look like there individual layers of thin dough that made up the bread! That and beer and I'd be content!

Look at the size of that lettuce on the dirty floor!

Mahalo Vince!

Night shopping in the super busy alley.

Raddest Starbucks we came across!

Cafe racer in China. Some hipster owned this. We can't escape the hipsters even in China.

Last stop was to get a cold beer to drink in the cold weather. This place had the most elaborate selection of beer and it was located in an alley. Vince said all the Chinese military guys patronize the bar next door, so they probably stop in here as well to get the high end stuff. There was a bench with a long table out front and Vince said this is where they come to drink some times in the summer before going out for the evening. China's version of Ewa Pantry!
