Yep. I'd always heard about how cheap everything was in China prior to going there. We learned pretty quick that anything that came with an English translation was full on retail.
The food was incredible. The noodle restaurants...OMG. I had no idea there could possibly be so many different kinds of noodles. The food was amazing everywhere we went. Having a local with us who could argue with the waiters and get us through the places where nobody spoke English was priceless. I don't know the names of anything we ate and I have never before or since seen anything like what we were served. It was amazing. We ate like Kings for what seemed like no money
(in the local places where the menus didn't have English translations).
I lost all of my pictures from my trip when I lost my iPhone in a cab after leaving Beijing. I will never get over that. It really aggravates me every time I think about it. I have to find a way to go back and see more of this country. Its the only place I've ever been in the world that I feel this way about.
