Wangfujing (王府井)

Wangfujing is one of the must visit area in Beijing.. as there are many stores, restaurants and many kinds of food to try

However, things that caught most of my attention are so called street foods
some of them can be delicious.. yet some can be very disturbing

frozen fruits (bingtanghuru), very sweet

I don't know that guy and also I didn't ask him to pose in front of the bingtanghuru.. I think he's the cashier

me eating a scorpion!!!!!

well it didn't taste that bad...
I thought I would throw up right after my first bite... but I ended up eating two scorpions.. couldn't finish all of them

now I can't say eating dog was the most disgusting food I ever tried
eating scorpion beats everything!!!!

Coffee Time in Beijing?

Life in Asia : 2008. 2. 25. 02:17
I took a trip to Beijing during this weekend..
I thought 2 nights and 3 days would be enough since I will be taking a plane back to Yanji on Sunday night.. even though Beijing trip was good ,time wasn't enough to tour Beijing completely :(


I wasn't able to visit some of must-see places such as The Great Wall, Yi Hwa Yuan or inside of the Forbidden City :(

I will save them for end June/early July when I finish my term in Yanji and go to Beijing to take a plane to Seoul and then to Toronto :)

Initially, I wasn't thinking about staying in Beijing in end June/July when I go back to Toronto.. but since I missed out a lot in Beijing this weekend, I will definitely be in Beijing for few days before I go to Toronto to finish up my unfinished business in Beijing :)


The first thing that greeted me at the Beijing Airport when I disembarked from the plane was...

"Coffee Time!" (yay~)

When did Coffee Time started its expansion to China..?
Wait... was Coffee Time owned by Chinese?

Anyways.. seeing Coffee Time in Beijing was one of the most surprised store to see in Beijing.. lol

Doesn't the logo and its interior seems similar to the one in Toronto?

When I first saw this store... I was like... "wait? this can't be here?"

I wonder how much a cup of coffee cost there.. hopefully it's less than 10RMB
If a cup of coffee in Beiing Coffee Time costs similar to the Starbucks, then.. it would be sad :(

Inside of Beijing International Airport Terminal 1

the roof reminds me of UFO :p

Definitely the waiting area for Terminal 1 looked more like an airport than Terminal 2 domestic area, which looked no better than bus terminal :(

more pics from Beijing are coming up soon~
