Where We Eat

We Have many places where we go find food around BeiBei, but one of my favorites would be what we affectionately call "Eat Street", a back alley with lots of vendors willing to cook all kinds of varieties of local cuisine. We take motorcycle taxi's there sometimes too, which can be a fun/scary experience at times.

Turkey Day - At the Marriott Hotel

For Thanksgiving we made it to the Marriot Hotel in Chongqing, and relished in an oustanding buffet of turkey and other delicious goodies. It was a wonderful change from Chinese food, and was definitely a Thanksgiving to remember.

Cheap Chinese Motorcycles

On the 14th we toured a Motorcycle production facility. It was interesting to see how the quality of a Chinese producer differs from a Japanese manufacturer; subpar is the word that comes to mind when looking at the quality of these motorcycles. But, they did look nice from a few feet away!

Chengdu

Last weekend we visited the city of Chengdu, a 4 hour train ride West of Chongqing, our city. While there we went to the country's largest Panda reserve, and hunted down many a yummy Western restaurant. It's amazing how much you can appreciate a good burrito after you've been craving one for 2 months!
