It's Snowing in Beijing

As the title would lead you to believe, it is indeed snowing here in Beijing.  This is a mixed blessing, as I cannot keep from thinking that most of the "snow" is actually dangerous environmental pollutants.  I don't have the science to back that up, but, regardless, I will not be eating any.  It has also lead to the cancellation of our first Wushu martial arts class, which was to be held outside.

In addition, as requested by some readers, I've included some pictures of food.  Truly a feast for the eyes.
Seen above right is a goat meat dish served over a small fire, a common practice hear, and very cool.  The goat meat was not my favorite, it smelled pretty bad.  To the left is a fantastic egg and tomato concoction.
This was my favorite dish for the night,  鱿鱼, also know as octopus.  Breaded and served with peanuts, peppers, and  vegetables, it is better than any calamari I've ever had in the states.
