$7 Dinner

A stark contrast to Dubai's $21 Mojito, is Shenzhen's $7 dinner. I wasn't trying to save a buck. I went to a decent restaurant. I had a chicken and fried rice entree, a plate of sushi, and a large bottle of my new favorite beer, Tsing Tao. I didn't have to leave a tip, but the meal was so cheap and I'm so generous, I did anyway and still didn't break $7 (around 50 yuan). In Hong Kong, for $7, all I got was the Tsing Tao;( None of the waitresses spoke english, but the menus had pictures and another customer helped translate. I liked it so much I went back there again the next day.

In general I stay away from big brands while abroad. I didn't travel around the world for something I can get in the US. But I succumbed to the Pizza Hut figuring they had english menus and I was tired of playing menu charades. Translation mistakes are quite common. Usually it's a conjugation error. This Pizza Hut serves "interesting and exotica pizzas":
