Beijing - An evening on the town
Saturday night was fun. I had some down time and got to snap a few pics before the team headed off for dinner.
Now that the Volvo Golf classic is winding up the hotel is freeing up some rooms. I was able to upgrade my room and move to the club floor. The love seat is surrounded on three sides by windows. Laundry service is included in the cost of the room.
Me at the front of the hotel. Standing in that position can get you hit by a taxi (no, I'm not kidding).
This is a kariokee bar connecting to my hotel and another hotel on the opposite side. Apparently they also offer "special" messages. 
Brian is my new boss and Tony is the most recent addition to our team. This is out from of the Royal Hyatt hotel where we went for authentic Peking Duck.
Here's my team in Beijing. Great, and very tired, people. We haven't been served our meal yet (authentic Peking Duck), but its on its way.
This is how we make Peking Duck.
And here it is. The head is also served for those that care to partake.
Tony and I ordered Shredded Pigs ear and jelly fish. Believe it or not, its really quite good. It tasted a lot like coleslaw. I'd eat it again.
Yup, that's a ducks head on my plate. He looks sad. Don't know why, I ate the brains and some other stuff in there. It was good. Yes, really, I did. Grossed out?
After we got back from dinner we hit the hotel bar for some coffee. Very interesting experience hearing American jazz standards sung with a Chinese accent. Pretty dress.
