Smelt (Beijing)
Sorry, no pictures today. Work is very busy. The day usually starts at about 6:00 am with a quick scan of email coming from the states to see what interesting surprises have occurred through my night. The day ususally ends with a last team status call at Beijing 10:00 pm (10:00 am EST) and any followup issues.
We got back to the hotel about 8:00 pm last night from the office. Traffice here is always very bad, so the taxi ride can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to cover about 6 miles. I needed to grab a quick dinner, so the part of the team wasn't still working headed to a local underground mall. We ate at a local Japanese restaurant (trust me, you haven't had Japanese food like this in the US).
I ordered "traditional Japanese appetizer) and traditional noodles with scallops. The appetizer was good, but I have no idea what I was eating. Part of it was smelt (a little like anchovies). Head and tail still on of course. I don't think I actually had scallops with my noodles, I'm pretty sure I tasted tentacle. But, it tasted good so I ate it.
