Hot, Sweaty Night in Beijing

After walking for a few hours around Beijing downtown we decided to give our feet some rest and do some people watching. I believe this is right off WangFuZing street, which is a one of those streets in the center of Chinese capital overloaded with bunch of supermarkets and restaurants, packed with people.

While getting our burned feet some rest I decided to take a snap of passersby’s.

Say what now?

“You don’t like the color of these tasty bugs and instead want an order of grilled snake? No problem.” That is probably not what he is saying, but it could go just like that.

This is happening every night at the open food market near WangFuJing street.

WangFuJing is one of the premium shopping streets in Beijing. It is pedestrian friendly, has many nice shops and restaurants. On our first day in Beijing we stopped there for dinner at Dunn Lai Shun Muslim Restaurant (picture is coming in one of the future posts). After dinner I was waiting for my wife and daughter on the street, watching people and taking some photos. This character was not far from me talking to some folks, he was very animated and I thought he would make an interesting memory about this evening and this street, so here you go. This guy is some type of painter. Couple nights later we were back on this street and I saw him again, walking with his canvas.
