I swear I told everyone, "I'm banking on losing weight in China" at least 50 times before I left.... boy was I wrong. Not only are noodles and rice a staple in almost EVERY chinese meal here, but there are bakeries literally on every block! Not just one or two but maybe 5 within a few hundred feet!!!! HOW CAN I LOSE WEIGHT WHEN I'M SURROUNDED BY CARBS?!?! It also doesn't help that everything is ridiculously cheap... Example: 1 very generous loaf of fresh bread from one of these delicious smelling bakeries can be as low as 8 RMB (a little over 1 USD).... insanity! I've trained myself after a month to turn my head as soon as I get a whiff of the glorious aroma found on every street AND in all of the metro stations (well most of the time). However, my first month called for many "firsts" and that means indulgences, so naturally I've included only a few pictures of the countless pastries and desserts I've encountered......
