We found a great restaurant near Daming Lake, which specialised in dumplings. It was clean, efficient, and we were treated courteously.In the bus coming back, someone actually stood up and offered me a seat with a smile.
In the evening we caught up with our student contact (whom we met on our arrival at Beijing airport) who steered us away from the "dirty" local restaurants and after a ten minute taxi ride ($3) introduced us to a part of Jinan the likes of which we had never seen before. Clean roads, and buildings! Dozens of brightly lit restaurants each offering dishes from various provinces! We had a splendid Sichuan food, and it was a very enjoyable evening. Thank you, Luke. Jinan is redeeming itself.
For meals from now on, I don't mind paying a $3 premium for a taxi to a better part of Jinan.

I was getting worried that you were going to fade away to nothing. Glad you found some good food and not KFC!

Glad you were able to eat something and not arrive back form CHina dangling from a charm bracelet
