Picture of the week!

So it's everyone's favorite time of the week again - and this time 'round we've got some doosies.

First and foremost, lets talk about bags again. Those of you who have become faithful to my blog may remember a comment about street food and how EVERYTHING comes in little plastic bags, even soup. Well this past weekend in Qingdao we saw something which expanded the definition of everything. You guessed it, beer in a bag. Since the brewery is right there and readily accessible, unlike most of the beer we have found in China, Qingdao has beer on tap, and many small restaurants are able to provide this fine service - whats that you say? you want your beer to go? WHY OF COURSE! LET ME JUST GET A PLASTIC BAG.


My second pic(k) for this week, and my personal favorite, also hails from the city of Qingdao. Some of the things which we have been missing here in China as a group are the simple things... Some nice ambient jazz at a restaurant, maybe a cup of coffee, pizza, a nice beefsteak... like I said, the simple things; what's that you say - this place has jazz, pizza, coffee, simple meals, AND beefsteak?!? SIGN ME UP!It's also worth noting that JAZZBEEFSTEAK was located on the European Style Street, noted below...

That's all for now. We're heading to Shanghai at the end of the week for five days, so there may be a lull in material, but have no fear! I have high hopes that Shanghai will create not only marvelous stories, but many, many marvelous pictures.
