Dinner Theater and the Infamous "Night Market"

This post was from September 25, 2008.

Last night several of us went to this dinner theater place. It was really nice. We had a great table very close to the stage. The show started at 7 and ended at around 9. It was really cool! They had various performances like Beijing Opera, a magic show, and traditional Chinese dances. The food was good as well, but we ended up ordering way too much!

Then tonight we went to the famous "Night Market" in Wangfujing. This place is famous for it's bizarre foods that can be purchased for fairly cheap prices. They have everything from more normal things like dumplings, to really strange things like sheep's penis and scorpions. After surveying what they had to offer we started trying out things. The first thing I tried were the silk worms. They were absolutely disgusting! It was the only thing that I almost thew up after eating.
The next thing I tried were some sort of locust. It wasn't too bad, much better than the silk worms were! Next I tried a centipede. This wasn't so good either.
The last thing I had, which was the best, were the scorpions. These were actually very tasty!
