Totally! Though sad to say I ate a lot of room service, due to jet lag/cramps/social embarassment about going out to eat alone, before I made friends with some other journalists. But they took us out to a fancy Chinese lunch with a zillion courses, and even the hotel food was actually pretty good. Hainan Chicken is my new comfort food, although it'd be good if I actually learned to say it right. And I had an awesome smoked duck with black pepper in a little hole in the wall sports pub.

And cherry red taxicabs!

Why can't I picture you as an investment banker? How little we know of our LJ friends' daily lives.
