Hey guys, my name is Devin-I'm from the U.S. and living in Beijing for the next year. I'm one of the crazy ones who came over not knowing a soul so if you are trying to make new friends... I am too! I definetly want to see the city... tourist attractions to holes in the wall bars/restaurants, coffee to clubs, as long as the company is good-not partial!

Tomorrow, as in Tuesday 25 September, is in Switch

Switch is a restaurant /bar just opposite the car entrance to the Swissotel. The nearest subway station is Dongsishitiao Qiao and it is a 2 minute walk from the station.  Go out via the exit for the hotel and walk round the back of the hotel.
