This is NOT a Smoothie!

Dinner on Sunday night was with Kyle, Lili, Amy B, Stacy, and Jason. Stacy and Amy B knew each other from Spain, and Jason was Stacy's boyfriend. Kyle managed to get us two taxis that would drop us off at the Bellagios restaurant near the Workers Stadium in Beijing.

Bellagios was a Taiwanese restaurant. Kyle was mistaken about two things that night. He promised Amy B that they had western food on the menu...but unfortunately, there was none. So as the waitress hovered over us waiting for our order, and Kyle trying to communicate to her that we needed 5 minutes to make our decision, we ordered our taiwanese dinner. Some rice, chicken, beef, etc.

Kyle also convinced me to order the green tea smoothie. I thought "yum, smoothie". Kyle also ordered a peanut butter flavored smoothie. However, what came to the table was anything but a smoothie.
In the picture above, there is a green mound of something near my elbow. That would be my green tea "smoothie" - or what would normally be called a yummy green tea icy dessert with red beans. It was really good. It was definitely not a smoothie. The food was excellent. The slight brain freeze that I got from consuming my "smoothie" was also excellent. =)

After Kyle mislead us at dinner, we were afraid to follow him to a place that was highly recommended for a massage. However, we made the right decision to follow him. We ended up at Bodhi (www.bodhi.com.cn) - also known as bliss. For about $15, we got a "foot massage" that massaged every part of our bodies and muscles that we never knew existed. Chinese massages are excellent!I could have melted in the chair! It totally made up for Kyle's miscue on the western food and "smoothie" =).
