The fish restaurant

 Ni hao!

 On Thursday evening a large group of us went out for a meal at a fish restaurant. They served fish with a huge variety of different stuffings including noodles, chillies, mushrooms and more. I shared a fish with three friends and it was delicious.

 Before I show you the pictures from the restaurant, I want to share some photos I took earlier on of the gorgeous sunny morning from our terrace.






 Here are some pictures from the fish dinner.

Our starter, complete with simply enormous chillies!

 It was a really lovely evening. Thank you to Abi for inviting me along ♥

Beijing Zoo

 Ni hao!

 I'm going to share with you some of the photos I took during our visit to Beijing Zoo. This wasn't part of the itinerary; it was an excursion that some of us decided to go on as a group.

 We met and divided into threes to get taxis. We started off as a group of maybe twelve but various accidental splittings-up meant my group became just me, James, Dinesh and Rick. All three were people I hadn't known that well before so it was nice to have the chance to get to know them a bit better.

 Here is the map of the Zoo:



And here are some of the animals you can see there:




Here is a flamingo:

Giant panda!

Am I the only one who thinks the otter looks like a beaver?

A monkey who looks like he's telling someone off!

 As you can see, there are some incredible animals. My personal favourite was the Golden Eagle, although of course, the pandas are very beautiful as well.
