Yes the caption is correct-kathy and riley (and some other friends) all took the plunge and nibbled on deep-fried scorpion. You can't see it in the picture-but the little ones are still moving before they are cooked! i don't know how you could eat one after seeing that-but they did. There were even a few of kieran's friends who took little bites!
So this night market is a street where you can basically get lots of wierd stuff on a stick. The sugar-dipped fruit was pretty good-we liked the pineapple the best...but there was lots of other stuff as well. Kathy compared some of the stuff you can get to that at the minnesota state fair---i think a lot less appetizing though. I didn't try anything --used my pregnancy as an excuse-although i would not have tried anything even if i weren't pregnant!
After leaving the marke (it was COLD!) we decided to walk to tianamen square/forbidden city to see it all lit up at night. Very pretty-but too cold to really enjoy (in my opinion). After our limbs got numb, we tried to hail a taxi-which was no easy task. We finally flagged one down after 1/2 hour of trying. We headed home for the evening and crashed.
