It's me again. Sorry if that last post took a long time to load....this is what I get for following my husband on a emergency business trip. He's still at work and it's 8:30pm here. (He did call to let me know, if you're wondering...)
My punishment is called - walking 1/2 mile down the very busy Beijing street, ordering a meal "take-along" and coming back to the room to eat it alone! (They apparently don't have what we consider Chinese Take Out!) I had to sit in a booth waiting for them to prepare it just as if I was going to eat it there.
It's pretty cool, though. This entire meal cost 22yuan - or $2.86. Including the huge beer. No tax. No tipping allowed. And if you give them, say, 25yuan, they run after you to give you the change. Pretty wild. All-in-all not a bad punishment, I guess.
See ya, K
