My last two days weren't super exciting. I basically walked around, ate, and tried to get bus tickets to Zhangjiajie. The guy I was originally trying to buy them from went AWOL so I had to go to the bus station to buy tickets myself. The food in Changsha has been interesting, they seem to do a lot of roast meat. Last night I bought a whole, albeit small, roast chicken from a storefront. For dinner tonight I had a slightly different type of roast chicken. To be honest, the one I got from the random storefront and ate with gloves was better though the roast chicken I got tonight came with a rather interesting soup that I think was fruit based. The most interesting thing I ate, for me at least, was the soy sauce brazed noodles (红烧牛肉面), which is also one of my favorite dishes at Lamian in Shanghai. The lady I got lunch from does it very differently from Lamian. It was spicier, less soupy, had thicker noodles, included peanuts, and included pickled radish. While it was warming and did hit the spot I like Lamian's a bit more.

That soy noodle with peanut dish does look good. What is that thing that looks kind of like a cheese cake wedge?
