TGIF! Seriously

Its technically my first Friday in Beijing... any suggestion on where to go? Nothing in particular in mind... just want to cool down after an eventful first week - could be wine, beer or hard...

Have a great weekend everyone

Thanks!

LOL ... Why "technically" first Friday?

Have you been in Beijing before on a Friday but they were technically not valid as Fridays?

ANyway Friday has come and gonce but a new one will be here very fast.

What sort of things in which part of town?

All safe and sound thanks.

I had to evacuate my car from the underground parking lot but apart from that we were as snug as a bug in a rug.

That storm reminded me the devastated scenario in Brisbane 2011.

I tried to setup beer clock in my office, but my chinese colleagues just pissed me off. Any chance to catch up with you guys for beer, or wine? I am pretty close to GuoMao

Cheers, mate

Not at the bar itself but at the door there will be a couple of cashiers who will give you a complimentary drink voucher and an ID Tag.

And yes just say Manlin or Manlin from Expat-Blog website.
