Beijing Part 3

The Amazing Video of Erik Eating Scorpian on a Stick

0 °F

Here's more stuff from our Beijing trip. When we were out shopping one day, we found vendors who were selling sea horse and scorpian on a stick.

Obviously, this is a must try. Here is the video I shot of Erik eating scorpian on a stick.

Pretty cool, right? I am ashamed to say I was too afraid to try it.

Erik's mom reserved us rooms at this really awesome hotel in Beijing. It looked like a small temple! It was really cool. We shot a video of our hotel for you all to see.

Neat, huh?

Well that's all for this blog entry. Erik and I are preparing for the many changes that will be occuring within the next couple months. Erik will be starting his Chinese classes at ENCU and I will begin teaching at a new school. We are also looking forward to getting a new apartment as we have had many problems in this one. More later!

Man those are big bugs. Are they imported from the desert frozen or were they cooked on the street live? Are scorpions nutritious or symbolically beneficial? I am trying to think of my nephew as culturally courageous to fend off the word of the word geek from entering my mind.

Look some teacher made a whole film on the subject:
