1 kuai ‘fish’ snack and Wudaokou movie theatre
Today I bought yet again the 1-kuai ‘fish’ snack that’s on sales between the West gate of BLCU and Xijiao Hotel. The seller was (according to local legend) the first in China/Beijing to figure out how to cook the pastry into fish shape . It is of waffle texture, and inside you have milk, chocolate, ‘taosi’ or other fillings. The ones I bought were of chocolate (the lighter one) and milk filling. It’s really nice when eaten hot. You’ll note that he now has a personal design paper bag to carry home. The characters above are Korean characters, surely because of the heavy population of Korean students here. He must be doing well. 
Also, I took a picture of the Wudaokou theatre hall. It may be the only cinema in Wudaokou but nearby there should be others nearby. There was quite a reasonable amount of people going to watch the movies today and yesterday. Most of them were going to see ‘The Banquet’ (夜宴).
Although it’s not visible, just on the right side, by the building with the ‘Wudaokou Hotel’ sign, you have another area where people can buy food and eat during summer. However, I found it closed when I walked there everytime. Maybe it’s been closed for good. I remember during the World cup, the stalls were open and they would project the match live on the wall. Lots of people would be having late night snacks and drinking beer while rooting for their favourite teams. Nice memories.

looks yummy!
I ‘might’ go to Beijing during the winter hols.
I hope that this fish snack will still be sold by that time.
