Arrival to Beijing

We landed in Beijing at noon. Left our big bags at the Airport's left luggage (A GREAT INVENTION!) and went to check out how Beijing looks like after the Olympics.
The Airport is quite beautiful. It has three HUGE terminals and gives you the sensation of a really big hall without any supporting columns.

By the time we finally arrived and settled down, it was already dark. We found our way to the famous Tiananmen square and to the entrance of the forbidden city (which we'll probably see in a few days):



Our main goal for this night was to find the famous night market that appeared in Gidi-Gov's show. They sell a lot of weird stuff there. For example - scorpions and sea horses on a stick!
This is food, mind you, so no yuck noises!



No. We skipped those ones and tasted something more conventional :)


This guy tried the sea horses...Gotta love his face!


It is a very long street, and it is a feast to the eyes!




Weird dumplings ?




On the top right corner - MARBE RAGLAYIM (centipede).
Bottom right - GLAMIM, and bottom left - sea stars. All can be deep fried and served on a stick.


OK. Tomorrow we are going to check the great wall. Stay tuned!
