Seeing is believing... sort of. (Captions)

Here are the captions for the pictures I posted before. I don't know why it wouldn't let me put them together, but I was having some issues last night and tonight making them into one. So now they are two. Pictures below.

Plane Window: A side aerial shot of Hong Kong. We had a delayed flight which put is here for 5+ hours but the stewardesses were kind enough to help us get new tickets and give us vouchers to eat lunch for free. we didn’t have to worry, but were definitely Taken Care Of.

5 Guys: Have you seen these good lookin’ guys anywhere? My team and I stopped for a group picture in the middle of our Amazing Race through Beijing. It may have turned into more of a tourist adventure than a race though. Haha.

Group Sitting Around Table: Up for a game? Many times you’ll see a group of men sitting around a table like this playing some game or eating food. Our first night in Beijing we went on a walk (which it’s extremely safe here, no one worries or is in fear as they walk along), but we also went with the appropriate authorities, and there were probably 25 different little tables in one block all eating or selling food. It was like a Fourth of July BBQ in the middle of the city.

Teammates Eating: HOT POT! Our first Hot Pot meal which is more of the cook your own food type of style. They give you a table with a Bunsen burner in the middle, a soup type of seasonings of your choice to go in the middle, and then you pick what meats and vegetables to cook in it. This was our first HOT POT experience, and from some of the choices we made, and some of the results of the food on teammates…we might be waiting a while before we try it again.

Kids Playing Game: Game On – Junior Edition. These cute kids were on the street trying to play as we came out from eating supper tonight. As a side note, children don’t really wear diapers around here past a certain age, so their small children wear these special shorts with no butt area in them so they can just squat down and go whenever is needed. Handy little trunks to have around… I think.

Pagoda Picture: I figured this is what many of us imagine when we think of China. This is an old temple for… I’m not sure what. There are a few of these around but not nearly as many as you would imagine, I think in all of our adventures I’ve seen maybe 2 or 3 that look like this. They’re not very common in Beijing, but are still cool to look at.
