By the way

This is what I buy at my supermarket!
I am not sure this is enough, but it will do for a few days right?
(if you cannot read this is 3 kg noodles!)

at the supermarket

I was at one of the many supermarket of UB and then I saw this cake with this… well how can I say, this really ugly Winnie the pooh!
So I have decided to take a picture and since I took one I took many!
So this is s big supermarket in UB. There are frozen products but not so good and expensive, except the buuz and sometimes meat I don't buy it!
This is a really big one!
This is the part were they sell the alcohol, but once in the month (I don't remember when) this is forbidden to sell it so they block this part!
on the left you can see all the products that they sell this is really amazing!
A closer view of some of them.
The place where they sell chocolates  is also extra big!
Mongolian like sweat things!
This one is also funny and coming from France.
Come on vodka from France in Mongolia, it looks strange no?
Anyway, this is a supermarket in UB!
Not what you thought right?

End of summer time...

Sukhbaatar square is still my favorite place in UB and now there is new attractions there!
Mongolia got one of it's dinosaur back and you can see it.
But since I have seen some at the national museum of natural history (or something like that) I won't go see this one, but I like the outside presentation :-)
And because this is the summer or actually the end there is a flower ger
I love it so nice.
They also put some flower all over UB which is really nice!
And this is a flower between the flower :-)

Melon

I really like melon!
And lucky me, now you can find melon in Mongolia.
This is not from here (Russia or China) but what the hell, this is still delicious
And this one was really big! And juicy
A few degustations! Hummmmm

The airport

Until now I was coming or leaving only at night so no picture but finally I managed.
This is The national airport of UB.
Small but convenient and you don't have to wait too long to go through the control which actually is a great advantage!
And of course the name is Chinggis khaan :-)
That's it for today!!!!

a week in Beijing

Yes I left Japan… but I was one week in Beijing and the highlight there for me is the fooddddddddd
I start of course with mango!
And look at this one, so delicious, I don't remember the meat, but the taste, so great!
After that direction the place. This is a nice shopping mall but the highlight...
a giant screen where they project all kind of things!
this was money in the sea!
short eating break with steamed rice rolls and mango juice,  I dreamt of that since months!
Back to the the place with a show about space, really impressing!
This is my breakfast, Portuguese cake and kind of crepe
I will skip the this is delicious!!!!!
Visit to an Hutong.
This was before some small typical streets  but now, after the olympics they have done everything new, so this is now a big commercial street
 Here the entrance
And this is the famous Bejing duck that I haven't got the pleasure to eat, you will know why later!
and this is a more traditional hutong
with also small shops
restaurants (indicated by the red thing)
and street food!
This is the restored street
a big tea shop
and they put some statues everywhere

entrance of a famous beijing duck restaurant, where I have not been!
This is a door direction the forbidden city and the tienanmen square
This is the one with the portrait of Mao
But since I have already visited it, I have not been inside this time!
Nice entry of an hotel where I was not staying :-)
And this is street food
You may have a closer look at what this is :-)
Candy fruits, more normal, right?
You haven't seen before? Ok here a closer look at the scorpion and other strange things!
I couldn't try, too terrible!!!
This also, I am not  brave enough!
But these look cute, right? This is dim sum!
no comment!
The dishes are celled in order to be clean
and that was the food at the restaurant.
But despite the cleanliness dishes this food made me very sick (I am still stick)!
Stomach pain, I let you imagine
Mamamia!!!
And the horrible pollution is not helping my delicate stomach
Positive side: I lost a few kilos :-)
In Beijing there are very very big building
This is quite impressive
But I need a bit of France!
Youpi!!!!
I didn't know that I would be sick, so I had another great lunch
Especially the Portuguese egg tart:-)
And a mango lunch!
Ok maybe I have also eaten too much.
But come on we live only one time no?
Night visit at the lake Hutai
Now I am sick, but there are public toilets everywhere and they are clean, thanks!!!!!
An old tea house
And the view of the lake
great nice pictures right?
And it's not so hot anymore!
But I am still sick :-(
Tintin!!!!!!
Even if I was sick I managed to visit the olympic stadium
I am really impressed by the big buildings!
And a lot of pieces of art
And the famous nest!
After that the rest of my stay was more in my room and in the toilet:-)
But nobodies worry I am fine!
Now I am back in Mongolia and I recover!
More news later!!!!
