Today Hannah, Alli, and Colin went to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. What a view! The section was recommended to us by some folks who we met the night we got into Beijing on our way to the hostel we are staying at- the biggest selling point being that it was less crowded, which was great. The weather was very clear and refreshingly cool- great for taking photos. We took a ski lift up and rode an alpine slide back down for lunch at a local cafe.
After a 2 hour ride back to Beijing we went for a walk down Wangfujing Street and encountered none other than a guy selling scorpions to eat. Being the careful eaters they are, Hannah and Alli of course said heck yes. The scorpions came four to a stick and were alive before the vendor ended their squirming lives in a deep fryer. After making the vendor take the first bite, Hannah and Alli dug in as a small crowd watched on. They were crunchy.
