US Vice President Joe Biden talks with the customers in a traditional Beijing restaurant. Biden and his granddaughter Naomi visited the local restaurant specializing in stir-fried pork liver with the new US ambassador to China Gary Locke yesterday afternoon after meeting with Chinese leaders in Beijing. Biden ordered five local dishes including noodles with soybean paste, smashed cucumber salad, Chinese yam salad, green pepper and potato threads, and soft drinks. The bill came to 79 yuan ($12.4) and Biden paid it himself. [Photo: USEmbassy]
