Pinky and Her Sweet Potato...

This was when we were walking towards the main entrance of the Summer Palace. Oh, Pinky~! Did you see what I see? Did you see that~!!!!

YESH~!! YESH~!!! YESH YESH~!!! Uncle, one sweet potato please... How much? If you've never experience hunger, you will never know what is it like to have your stomach filled. I have had my large sausage the previous night and Pinky has been hungry for the fifth day. Today is *was* her day. Pinky chose the largest sweet potato. Lord, please don't let the uncle overcharged us...

With that kind of manual weighing scales, both of us didn't even know how to use it let alone read the weight stated somewhere along the metal rod. Lastly after a few minutes of silence, the uncle said the sweet potato cost only 5yuan. With a whopping cry of delight, Pinky handed him the crumpled note.... aahhh... sweet...

Looks like next time if we go to Beijing together, I will bring a whole sack of sweet potatoes so both of can survive on this for the whole time that we are there. Most of the food that we have tasted was so lousy, the sweet potato became the champion of dishes. 

You see, the evil tour guide was hurrying us but we couldn't be bothered. I must let Pinky enjoy her sweet potato or else she might faint out of hunger. We were both busy taking photos and she needed an extra hand for her sweet potato. Sweet potatoes ain't for the poor, it was so costly only the rich can afford to eat a sweet potato.
