Dinner Out August 12, 2007

After doing some exploring in the general area that we live. You find that there are four restaurants for every other business venture. Many of these are small some are primarily bars but many are very upscale. Right where we live is a major tourist spot for the Chinese nationals. I am not sure what the attraction is other than the restaurants and lots of street vendor type of places, may the sea. Bev and I walked over to a very, very traditional Chinese restaurant and were able to order our meal two items both more than we could eat one was traditional Jaiosa (sp) dumplings and the other was a noodle chicken dish, handmade noodles. No one stared which means that we must be doing ok with the procedure to prepare to eat and the use of chopsticks. Oh by the way our meal was 21rmb or a little less than $3.00 US for both of us including tea. But don’t get the idea that everything is inexpensive a McDonalds hamburger is more than $3.00 itself without fries and a coke and anything at Starbucks is about 20% more expensive.
