First up... fabulous Din Tai Fung's dumplings. Now, that's the lifestyle I must have if I have to live in Asia. I felt civilized. The dumplings were just so good.
Next, I joined the world of faux, and brought myself a Zegna and an Armani jacket from Silk Market (for those who know Beijing, you know where I am talking about.) I am so ashame of myself. I never was a big fan of using faux things. But the Zegna one is really pretty cute. And it is super warm for the unexpected snow and negative temperature. The tricky thing with shopping in Beijing is that once you try on something, those shop girls will not let you walk away empty handed.
And then it was a 100 minute foot massage. (Yes, it averages out 10 minutes per toe.) They did that suction bulbs thing on my foot. It was hilarious. I never thought I would show picture of my feet on a blog. But this deserve a laugh from everyone.
I went out to Destination for a few hours of dancing among the local trendy boys to celebrate Halloween. The place was mopped. I came out of the club in the early hour to find that it was pouring rain. But I found a cab and back to the hotel for a great night sleep. This (late) morning, when I looked out the window, the ground was covered in snow. I can't believe a November 1st snow day! I just spent the Sunday at malls and bookshops. Surprisingly, English books are not that expensive here.
I visited my uncle in the afternoon before I came back. I love Beijing.
