yesterday i had the famous peking duck. We went to this restaurant where presentation is everything. Not only was the food delicious, they were also presented very artistically.
the rib dish on the right not only has a slab of rock for plate, when it was served, the waitress dusted powder sugar as snow while reciting a poem. (yea it was weird)
and the money shot. bam! i ate so much i thought i was gonna explode.
After dinner, i went to a jay chou concert with my friend. He’s kinda like China’s Rain, and he’s going to be in the movie The Green Hornet (2011) as the green hornet’s (played by Seth Rogen) sidekick Kato.
the concert was at this outdoor sports pavilion, there were like more than 40,000 people. The mom that sat behind us told her kids that not even usher or beyonce (pronounced like beyons) cant even get this many people to attend their concerts. i dont know where she got this piece of information, but all the seats were taken.
We left before jay chou started singing encore, because neither of us are his die-hard fans and i really needed to watch the ger vs. arg game. So we walked to the district with all the bars and watched the caught the game right after the first goal. I had no idea how to order at a chinese bar and im pretty the waiter smelt our foreignness as soon as walked inside. He made ordering process very confusing, and in the end i unintentionally ordered a case of bottled heinekens and spent over 100 usd. long story short, by the end of the game which lasted about an hour and half, we had only finished four bottles and i walked around very tipsy with the rest of the beer in a box for an hour trying to find a taxi that would take us home. and when we finally found a taxi, the taxi driver and i really hit it off, and we had a very long and intense conversation about the world cup, china’s football/soccer league, and corruption.
In conclusion, we were totally ripped off, but watching the game on a giant screen with a room full of drunk people was worth it in the end.
