We started our day off with a great breakfast buffet! They had traditional Chinese foods along with western style foods such as cheerios and frootloops! I decided to try a couple of new food items and had an egg custard... it kind of looked like flan but it tasted like soft boiled eggs. I liked it. Also tried fried noodles and they were really good! Ed and Josh had those as well as eggs, bacon, sausage, etc... The hot tea was delish!
Our Hotel
We went exploring near the hotel and ended up in a mall!
We were really looking for a place to buy water and a few odds and ends and there we were. Very nice and super clean. The sales people follow you everywhere and there is tons of security. They had a car show in the middle of the mall (did I mention it was 5 stories) and they had beautiful women in evening gowns next to each of the cars...
Well afer returning to the room and doing a bit of research, we have discovered that we are mere blocks away from Forbidden City, the Pearl Market, the Silk Market and the Friendship Store. So it looks like we are going to head out and so some real exploring and maybe get a jumpstart on some shopping.

Hey.. you guys are staying at the same hotel we stayed at in 2004 when we adopted Emma! It seems like you've already located the mall, McD's and Starbucks!! (We lived there for 2 weeks!!)
I'm enjoying following your journey- it brings back memories from when we were there!!
