We have pretty much stayed in the hotel all day! We did get some sleep last night, but our bodies are still trying to recover. We have both found ourselves taking naps today and then waking up with headaches. In between our big breakfast and our naps we have tried to unpack the room we are staying in for 9 more days. We found out that since we are in an Executive Suite we are able to go get "snacks" from 6-8 in the Executive Lounge. Snacks in China are a whole lot different then snacks in the U.S. We could have just eaten our whole meal in there and it would have been included in our room price. There was all types of fish, chicken, dumplings and other things I was not willing to try. However, the Rock felt like we should find an authentic Chinese restaurant for our first whole day in China, so we did.
The first one we came to there was no English words on the menu in the window and it did not look crowded, so I vetoed that restaurant. The second one had menu with English on their window so we decided to try it. The menu was in both Chinese and English, but the waitresses do not speak both. It was pretty much point at picture and hope for the best. They just laughed at us when I tried to eat with my chopsticks. The Rock did get to try some steamed dumplings, but we realized that we should have ordered just one plate of sweet and sour chicken and shared it. We had way too much food left over!
We are headed to bed again. We are excited to be going to the Great Wall tomorrow, but Monday is really the day we are counting down to. Two more sleeps until we have Cherry Blossom!
