Hot pepper eating contest – 4th place out of ten
Wow! Today at the Canada day celebration I polished off twenty-one spicy peppers to finish 4th behind a 2nd and 3rd place tie with 26 peppers and 1st place finisher with 65 peppers. I thoroughly enjoyed the contest. It was a bit painful. I inhaled two fairly large containers of yogurt, and a small container of ice cream immediately following the peppers. I experienced the eye watering, nose running, face sweating, and mouth on fire from those peppers. The event occurred at the Canada international school in Beijing. Appropriately they played Barenaked Ladies (Canadian band) music when the band was not playing. We (Sharon, David, Tracy, Elizabeth, and I) ate a fish dinner after the event. We did briefly visit with Charles and two of his co-workers during the afternoon. They showed up for a short while. Charles works at CCTV as an on-air personality.
