Day 6- Exploring Beijing

On our last real day in the city we got to explore Beijing on our own. The Greens and us decided that we would take it easy in the morning and then go out for lunch, then get ready to go to our cities the next day. It was a pretty relaxed day, and we were glad to be able to explore on our own. We didn't go far, just a few streets over from our hotel.

We had luch at a korean BBQ. It is like a buffet where you choose what you want to make. You take your meats and veggies back to your table where there is a small heating unit where you cook your food. It is really good and it was good to be able to choose what we ate.

Later that night the Greens wanted to rest, but Jon and I were still feeling like an adventure, so we went out to see what Beijing had to offer at night. We found another street market type thing with a bunch of shops along the way and a lot of food stands. Here we got bamboo juice, which you should try if you ever get the chance. It is a lot like sugar cane juice, but more mild and kind of creamy. I liked it a lot, but I haven't seen it since.
