1001 Nights

While our visitors were here we had a few of our Beijing friends meet us for dinner at a place called 1001 Arabian Nights. Yes it's named after the famous book that contained stories such as Sinbad, Alibaba, etc. The original tale (and I hope I get this rightt)is of an Arabian Sheik who would request of his wife's that they entertain him, but once he became bored with their entertainment he would execute them. So this one wife had a brilliant idea that she would tell these fantastic tales which really had no ending and sort of intertwined with each other, and each night she would start again where she left off the previous night. She was able to continue the tales for a total of 1001 nights.

All I know is that the food and entertainment at the restaurant were excellent!

Just another night in "The Jing"!
