Hungry Anyone?

Right away we had to feed my starving parents! Apparently, on the plane they ran out of turkey sandwiches for the second meal, so instead of eating the noodles that were offered (they are not very tasty), they ended up starving before arriving!! We took up suitcases to the room and then headed out to Wanfujing Street for dinner! We decided to start them out easy and went to Outback Steakhouse for some American cooking!
After that we wandered down the walking street to people watch and see some of the local foods available! At the very end of the "crazy" food street, my dad shocked us all by saying that he would really like to try some fried starfish. He kept talking about Samantha Brown on the Discovery Channel trying it and it couldn't be that bad!! Whatever it takes, I was proud of him for totally stepping out of his comfort zone!! I was also propositioned with some, "testicles", which I passed on! The kids loved their fruit soaked in sugar!
