From now on, as a point of pride, I'm going to show everyone your photo. Thanks, I guess! lol

On a more serious note, this is a great trip report so far. Very eye-opening what happened with Optiontown, a service I considered using when I stumbled upon it from this thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/othe...-upgrades.html If I end up tempted to use it in the future, I'll be sure to be way more careful!
Thanks for reading. I'll have a little more on my up-class bidding shenanigans later in my report.

Those critters were not live, they had already met their end in the frying pan. I did see a lot of live ones last year in Beijing on Snack Street in Wangfujing. Just hanging out, on the end of sticks squirming away.
