The Famous Noodle Shop (Part 2)
Survival Chinese — hunting down a famous noodle shop in the back streets.
从博物馆出来，小美饿了。Coming out of the museum, Xiao Mei was hungry.听说附近有一家很有名的面馆。She'd heard there was a very famous noodle shop nearby.可是小路太多，她又找不到了。But there were too many little streets, and she was lost again.
她问路边的一位老人：“请问，面馆在哪儿？”She asked an old man by the road, "Excuse me, where is the noodle shop?"
老人说：“往回走，第一个路口左转。”The old man said, "Go back the way you came, and turn left at the first intersection."
“看到一个红色的大门，就到了。”"When you see a big red door, you're there."
小美往回走，左转，看到了红色的大门。Xiao Mei walked back, turned left, and saw the big red door.面馆很小，人却很多。The noodle shop was tiny, but full of people.
面很好吃，小美吃得很开心。The noodles were delicious, and Xiao Mei happily ate them up.最好的地方，有时候就在小路里。Sometimes the best places are hidden in the little streets.
