My Week of Adventures, Part 1: 白酒

After a week of vacation, I'm back to the daily grind. Because of my busy schedule as of late, I'll slowly be catching up on all our amazing activities during the National Day holiday.

David and Elinor arrived Friday night in Xi'an where we greeted them with cheap beer and 白酒or Baijiu, a kind of Chinese alcohol. Baijiu, just like any other alcohol, runs the gambit on quality, from fancy and pretty delicious to cheap and smelling of formaldehyde. I'm sorry to say the particular kind we had that night was more of the latter, being that it only cost 3 yuan, or approximately 40 cents.

This picture captures the various reactions quite nicely, although this was even before we drank any.
