Dalian was wonderful. It is a big city--3.5 million to 7 million depending on how you count--and renowned for its beaches. It was not beach weather this weekend, though, so I did a lot of other fun things with my friend. Here are five things that I did not do:

I did not go rollerblading, but I did ride the scariest of the rides and go bowling in a fallout shelter. |

I did not give a 100 RMB to a bird at the bird show, but somebody else in the crowd did. |

I did not get my picture drawn by a street artist, but I did get my photograph taken a lot by random people. |

I did not receive the group activity large-scale sandy beach party. |
I did not feed Coke to a Tibetan bear, though many others did just to see them unscrew the top and guzzle. In this video, he is eating crackers from a plastic bag as the trash from tourists floats around him.
