The food has been pretty good but there were a few things that I haven't loved. Chicken brain isn't very good and sheep penis is better than kimchi chips. At the tennis center the food was pretty limited and the hot dogs came prepackaged...makes you wonder what itwas made out of:

Forbidden City and Hutongs!!
Today we went to the Forbidden City but we were only there for a bit until everyone was asked to leave. We don't know why because it was all in Chinese(go figure). Next we made our way to the Drum and Bell tower to catch a rickshaw to see the Hutongs. I can't believe we are on our last day already, this has been such a fun trip....

Franks and Beans
Today we got a chance to hang out with Wags so we all went back to the Dongcheng district to visit the night markets. David and Tracy wanted to try scorpians and big gross bugs. After that the real fun came, we were a little more adventurous, first we tried deer and emu, then sea urchin and honey bees, sheep penis balls!!

A Bronze medal some Tsingtao and scorpians
This morning we went to the Olympic center to see the Terracotta Warriors display. We are still trying to decide if we want to take a whole day to get over to see the actual army.
Medal ceremonies are awesome!!! We were lucky enough to get to go 2 medal ceremonies, today we watched David get the Bronze!
Tonight we wanted to check out the night markets in the Doncheng disctrict. These are the markets you all probably saw on the Travel channel. We didn't hold back, we tried a handful of different things: scorpians, starfish, sparrow, Octopus, chicken heart and dog..yes we tried dog dont judge. The thing with all these food a lot of it has the same marinade ( which isn't so good ) The starfish was really greasy! The sparrow, chicken heart and dog were actually the best...Go figure. Any how here are some pictures:
