2009-05-16 Beijing Day 3 - Beijiing Zoo & Markets 036

Hello folks. Well today I got initiated to public toilets in Beijiing. It was quite an interesting experience. Good thing I've lived in the country all my life and have had to use the roadside on occasion.

Today a bunch of the MIB students got in. A group of 8 of us took the subways and busing system to the Beijiing zoo today. We saw Pandas, Lions, Tigers, Elephants, etc. We also went to another shopping market. i got lost... We were going to meet back at the entrance in an hour and the market was so big that it had 3 different entrances. I couldn't find the correct one. At one point I walked out of the building and started walking around the building on the outside to see if I could spot anyone. I ended up in a different market building be they had a public phone and an information desk that could assist me. So I got hooked back up with the crew.

Tonight we had supper at a place called a HotPot.. The concept seems similar to a fondue pot except they use hot water to cook the vegetables, noodles, tofu, & meats. It was good.
