Well done
I could relate very easily to the deodorant part of your story - Watson's was my best friend while I lived in Inner Mongolia. Well-written with great photos. I wanted to ask: that Beijing Duck restaurant - was it called "Da Dong" Beijing Kao Ya? It also sells sea cucumber delicacies, apparently. Anyway that's where I went for Beijing duck in Beijing, and it was delicious! I wonder if you went to the same place?
