New Year's Eve '04

---

Visiting my family at Beijing. Tonight is New Year's Eve, and we went to Dadong Kaoya Dian for their famous roast duck Beijing style. They're prepared in their secret trademark style and they're so good that there's no chain store anywhere else in the world... and they don't have to take reservations!
