No Chicken? You gotta be kidding me!

Tonight, Eric and I went to find a place to eat. We left late, about 10 PM. We couldn't find anything open except for a KFC. So, begrudgingly, we walked into an american restaurant. We go to the counter and they hand us a picture menu. I point to the bucket of Chicken and ask for 2 cokes. The girl behind the counter says, 'No! No! No Chicken today.' I wonder if it's all a bad dream. I point again and she says the same thing. So we left.

We walked a little while longer and found a restaurant. It was down a whole bunch of stairs. Since the escalator wasn't working, we had our doubts. When we get to the basement, six or seven people stand up, start laughing at us, and guide us into the restaurant. There was not a single person eating in this fairly large restaurant. It reminded us of the ballroom in The Shining. Great food that filled me up silly. Total cost, $4.50.

Eric and I will not be going to Tibet or Mongolia. There is too much to see in both places and so those two should be combined together for one nice vacation. We leave Friday for a 4D/3N cruise on the Yangzte to see some sites as well as the largest dam in the world, the environmentally wrecking Three Gorges Dam. From there, we will bus and train it to Guilin for a few days. Then we will train it up to Xian for another few days to see the terra cotta statues and other historical things associated with the city. From there we will head to Beijing for the rest of the vacation.

Will be in touch....
