The Scorpion King

I only did it because I told a group of kids at fbc and ridgeview that I would. I told them that people eat scorpions in Beijing and (to show off for the kids) I told them that when I went I was going to try it. They are not all that bad. As you see in the video, I could not do the big, black, hairy one. I almost had Reese going on the 4th one. He went in for the kill and then Chyloe's shriek scared him out of it. As all tourists do, we captured it all on video (speaking of tourists - I have a hypothesis that Chinese people have never actually eaten scorpions but that it is a funny trick that they play on tourists). Enjoy the pictures and the video to follow.


You can't see it on the video but these guys were moving as they were waiting impaled for their impending doom in the belly of some sucker tourist. And I'm not even a tourist - I live here.


I washed it all down with a "chinese hamburger".

Some of the other local eats.
