China Update No. 1

Now, in an attempt to boost my readership, I have enlisted the help of my friend Adam Lanphier to bring you all the latest updates from our friends-to-the-north: China. Adam is a freelance journalist for the biggest expat rag in Beijing, called "That's Beijing", or "That's BJ" for short. I had a look at That's BJ's local event listings for interesting "assignments" for Adam to document, all in the name of greater cultural understanding.

Here's a little info about Adam: He's tall and lovely to look at. He's a virgo. No fatties need apply.

I selected, as his first assignment, something billed as the "Fourth Minimal Dance Party" at a bar called Big Ben or something, I don't remember. Anyway, here is the photo of the place; it is, for some reason, called the "Sweet Smelling Village".



Adam actually hasn't told me what it was like, other than that it was not as minimal as he thought it would be, and that the DJ was cute. Now Adam is fighting with a real estate agent, which I suspect is another story waiting to unfold.

This isn't really a "cultural update" of any particular interest. We're still working out the kinks. Update #2 will be better.
