At the Great Wall I had a singular experience. A 20 something, hip looking couple made the universal "will you take a picture?" gesture. Sure, I smiled back. We did an awkward back and forth dance until I finally realized that they wanted to take a picture with me. Apparently not all the world dislikes Americans :)

A similar thing happened at a small noodle shop. The owner really wanted me to take a picture with them and then have Caroline print it out and bring it back. Ryan and I were hounded at the Bird's Nest as well. My own 15 minutes of fame.

i should have warned you about the picture taking. looks like you are having fun!
They definitely have interesting food there. Mostly good. When I went they would never tell us what we were eating though. And being 3 months pregnant (and sick) made it a very interesting experience. But when you get the chance, you take it.
