I'm glad to inform that last week was actually okay. Busy and worked very late during the week. But I shut off my phone on Friday, hopped on a train to Beijing immediately. I did simple stuff. I stayed away from the shopping (yes, you are reading that correctly!) I just walked around, check out neighborhood that I've not been to. I stop by a new art compound near the Lama temple and found a cool little hutong (side street) with several cool restaurants and shops.
Oh wait... I did buy something. I got a nice linen pocket square. It only cost RMB$18. So, that's less than 3 bucks. It doesn't count.
I also went to the Ritan Park. It's absolutely beautiful there, and it has no tourist! Amazing.
One of the highlight was checking out a project George Wong and Nick Baratto did a couple of years ago. They did a fabulous job. The gallery building within that compound is having a really cool pencil drawing exhibition by a local artist. The drawings are exquisite. I so wanted a couple of them. I wanted to have dinner at the restaurant. But the pricey menu changed my mind.
The Lamborghini showroom was also having a ribbon cutting ceremony. They have on display on the sidewalk a couple of really super cool cars. One is in a matte black finish. It looks like a Batmobile. It's awesome.
The laugh of the day was seeing this awful dress in a wedding gown shop. It is so awful. I can't even imagine someone designing it. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia would rip their eyes out after seeing that. And have to share it with you. Also, Chinese cabbage must be in season. They are everywhere!
So, pictures on with this posting are all the things I saw this weekend. I really enjoy the relax tourist weekend.
