The people Duane has been meeting with this week took us out to dinner again last night. It was really a treat. All kinds of great food - best of all was the Peking Duck - fresh roasted for us - you made these dainty little won-tons with duck meat/skin and various vegetables/sauce. Yum!

Here is Dean (in the middle), also from Raleigh (he went with us to the Great Wall and out to eat most nights we were here - enjoyed his company!)
The lovely couple! I joined them directly from work - so they didn't have time to change out of work clothes.
The highlight of the evening was several live performances by some really talented folks. Here is an un-believably flexible young lady. If you look closely, she is balanced on her TEETH - her "butt" is basically contacting the BACK of her heat. She's spinning these cloth discs on her extremeties. She did other amazing flexible poses, but the other shots were blurry.


Another very interesting performer was a "face-changer" - this fellow changed his face over and over....really cool in person.


Last shot was the little flexible girl. They called her over to pose. She was very sweet.
