Food

Okay I know my lips were swollen and I could barely smile, but the food in Xian was amazing! the first day we ate a big buffet style meal, my fist experiance with dumplings actually made in China, and let me tell you I'm hooked, don't know how I'm going to survive in the states without them, but I'll manage. Besides the dumplings there was this man who was making noodles, really making them, fresh, it was fascinating to watch but better to eat! By this point I'm confidently telling te servers I don't need a fork. (In mimic sign language because I don't know how to say it in Chinese - YET!) The noodles, and dumplings alone could have filled me up, but there was a whole buffet and I made certain to sample everything. (but the dumplings were the best) That night to our suprise we went to the same restaurant. but it was soo much better! Not that I don't like the buffet but when you get to sit and have food brought to you it's better, especially when you don't have to worry about ordering. Now I kid you not it was a six course dinner. and best of all a show! It was the Tang Dynasty show they did amazing songs and dances, and this one guy played a flute like set of pipes that sounded like birds, apparently he's really famous, I could see why! When I get my pictures and movies to upload I'll share. Alhough I am on my own computer right now, the internet is being finiky about uploads, don't know why. And I know I talked about the Muslim sector already but really the food was amazing. All over China where ever you go you see vendors with the most amazing smelling food, it's not the hotdog guy at the park (Yes dad I know what your thinking, very funny.) For anyone whomissed that last line Dad was probably thinking something along the lines of me actyually eating a hot dog. Anyhoo just wanted to let you guys know how much grea food your missing out on. Also a complaint that I don't have my notes anymor, they got left in a cab and all I have left is a schedual of events. I'll try my best to fill in the gaps. Next Entry - Zhengzhou University!
