One month milestone

After one month in China, I’m really getting good at using chopsticks and cycling around. Sometimes my Chinese friends challenge me in picking up peanuts with my chopsticks. I always get a few nods of approval if I show them that I can even pick up two at a time. The first picture shows me eating some of the best dumplings I ever had: the skin was extremely thin and the meat real juicy. It was in a restaurant in Shanghai (I forgot the name) that even made in the food section of the NY Times because of its dumplings. In the second picture, I felt sorry for the driver and told him to take a break and let me cycle for awhile. Only reluctantly did he agree as he was afraid the police would ticket him for letting me drive him around without a license.
