From TODAY producer Josh Weiner
Meanwhile what a wild trip she's had: Not only has Melissa never been out of the U.S., but she's here in China for less than 72 hours. That's practically the length of the roundtrip flight time from Nashville. That leaves one day for touring around Beijing. So she packed it all in. Along with her two-person production team, Melissa set out for a day sightseeing and shopping. For someone who's never been abroad, this woman's a trooper. The heat, the chaos, the language barrier -- she took it all in stride. But I was curious: From her first trip abroad, what stood out most of all?
"Pizza Hut!" Melissa said.Yes, she couldn't get over the salmon, squid and octopus toppings. Who knew?
