Down the street from our hotel is a crazy market where you can get anything from dog meat to tarantulas on a stick. That's Chris Ortiz who hasn't lost his appetite at all so far.

There are a few ledges outside the Olympic Stadium and miles of the best flatground in the world, but other than that, we didn't find much. The rollerbladers there appear to be heavily influenced by ice skating.
Ryan Clements goes for some kind of bug/beetle on a stick while Zach Miller keeps it conservative with some kind of sugar coated strawberry stick.

A lot of these snack vendors are doing things for the shock value. These delicacies have great shock value.
The food hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought. We've had some great meals that cost about $1.25. This little girl at a local restaurant couldn't speak any English, but she was happy to communicate with us through gestures and small gifts like strawberries and tomatoes. We're off to Woodward now where the trip switches into full skate mode. More from China coming up later.
