Qingdao

Since a few days I'm in Qingdao and celebrate with locals and tourists their marvelous beer festival. It's a bit like the Oktoberfest in Germany, fun but on the pricey side.
Fortunately there are alternatives how one can spend his time. For instance they do sell fresh draft beer on the streets which they directly pour from the tap into plastic bags.
The drinking then takes either some skill, a glass or a straw. And for snacks on the side, one can chew on a crispy deep fried scorpion. They are still alive when sold as you can see in this video and are cooked right on the street. I also put the same video on flickr where it might have slightly better resolution.
