Blogspot Access Open!

After trying to access this blogspot for almost two weeks, I am finally able to log on and write a post! Apparently, these stringent internet controls are due to the National Holiday.

I had a wonderful National Holiday vacation...but, unfortunately, I now have a cold and throat infection. Thankfully, it is nothing contagious. Over the break, I traveled to the northeastern ("Dongbei") parts of China. The weather is much, much colder than Shanghai! Before I get into the details of my trip, I am very excited to post food pictures. So, here it goes...

Delicious appetizers at a Korean restaurant

Sushi & nigiri

Street BBQ

Glutinous rice ovals filled with something sweet

Candied fruit kabobs

Fried bun with egg and bacon

Fried mushroom...tastes almost like fries!

Kimbap...Korean version of sushi

Hot corn noodles

Eggs, corn, and hotdogs boiling in hotsprings

Spicy Korean ricecakes with ramen noodles
