Fire Escape & Duck

We spent a nite at in Incheon at the Hong Kong Hotel. The picture shows the fire escape method. It's a ROPE! Sadly the windows were designed as to not to open accept for a tiny little one. A dog the size of a poodle my fit thru but then what is it gonna do with the rope? Or are we supposed to tie the rope to the dog, lower it and hope it will get some help Lassi like? hmm. :o)

Anyway. The hotel is right next to the only China Town in Korea. (and the only one without a single Peking(ok Bejing)Duck hanging in restaurant windows. As a matter of fact there is only one restaurant that serves China's signature dish. We went into 'Bejing Duck restaurant' and ordered one at a 49.000Won that would be about $50US. 5 minutes later the waitress informed us that they 'Ran Out'! Balmy June Saturday evening at 8pm! We walked out. After a few minutes walk we decided to eat anything, walked in and out of an other fancy restaurant too..this one was really dirty close up, even the tea was dusty and the tables sticky. So we went into a third place, the oldest and most famous one. It only had set meals for four and an athmosphere of a smelly old hospital cantina. Where is a Macdonald when you need one?

Incheon China Town has this beautiful, fancy painted wood gate at the entrance promising Eastern delights to the senses, yet delivers a couple of run down dusty streets packed with small, dirty shops and restaurants, serving the same poor quality and tastless crap they call 'Fusion food'. Fusion as in the worse of both cuisines no doubt.

Needless to say I was so very dissapointed. Chinese Duck is my favorite food in the whole world. I haven't had any since leaving London 5 month ago. I have serious withdrawal simptoms! I want Duck!
