Beijing Day 1

Hi guys!
I finally got a chance to get a post up on the web.  After a long 20 hours of travelling, I arrived safely in Beijing at around 4pm on Friday and immediately went to a welcome dinner at a "hot pot" restaurant.  Hot pot is a traditional Chinese meal where you pick some raw foods and cook them in a boiling sauce at your table.  Here are some pictures from the airport and from the very interesting meal.  After the meal we went back to our hotel and went to bed.
In the airport, meeting my group just after arrival in Beijing.

This is a bird head that I ate at hot pot meal.

Some of the food that I had on my plates.



This is some snake alcohol that tasted strong but pretty good.  Those are dead snakes in the jar.
