Today we went to a food festival at The Convention Center. We only saw one other non-Asian person there. It's amazing how many unappetizing things the Chinese eat. We went to the mid-levels where there is the longest escalator in the world. (Don't quote me on that). We wandered among the various street markets there. That night we went to Times Square which is patterned off the one in New York. Was very crowded but amazing. We had dinner a ex-pat place which was broadcasting a Irish soccer game and had a very animated crowd.
