Greetings From the Land of Dim Sum

Yes, I am in the city where Dim Sum (pictured above) was invented. Aleksandra and I are big fans for Dim Sum back in the states. Dim Sum means “snack” and is sort of like the Chinese version of tapas – sort of. You are usually seated at a large table in an enormous room that resembles a scene in a John Woo film. There are numerous little Chinese ladies that walk around with these rolling carts of food and try to sell you all sorts of stuff like shrimp dumplings, vegetables, beef, raccoon penis, etc… My personal favorites are the BBQ pork buns. They are not pictured above because they were in my stomach when I took the photo.

Well, I just received my "rake up call" and am about to leave the city of Dim Sum and fly to a city in northern China where it is –15 degrees Celsius. That translates to –60 in American. I can’t wait.
