I'm off to Beijing tomorrow -- woohoo! Travel adventures await, including a 5:30 a.m. wake-up call on Saturday, made in hopes of avoiding the heat and the crowds at the Great Wall, and getting our hike on early. Without really intending to, we're following the New York Times Travel Guide recommendations by staying here and planning to eat here. Photos and stories to come next week.
In the meantime, I received a little Beijing preview thanks to Mike who's been there this week for work. This was taken at Haidilao Hot Pot where they make noodles by flinging the dough over your head. For those who aren't familiar with hot pot, it's essentially your choice of broth (chicken, fish, beef, or some kind of combination of the above) and ingredients (noodles, veggies, slices of beef and fish balls -- which are not my favorite, but seem to be quite the crowd-pleaser). And, yes, this is how all noodles are made in China... ;)
