Mostly about food

My roommate and I were in Beijing during the "break," which mostly consisted of us looking for popular restaurants in Beijing. One of the best we've visited so far is a Dim Sum restaurant about ten minutes from campus. We also had an American food day, which included burgers, fries, apple martinis, and last but not least, Coldstone's ice cream. Now that was a memorable night. Pearl knows what I'm talking about. I've come to the conclusion that American fast food in China is much better than the American fast food in America.

 

Also, it was over this past weekend that we finally admitted that we spend most of our money on coffee. And so we decided to invest in a coffeemaker. The interesting thing about this whole bit, however, was realizing it's not that easy to find coffee beans around here. The Wu Mart, which is like the Target of China, only had instant coffee. We ended up going to a Starbucks in the Solana Mall for coffee beans, which were overpriced but definitely worth buying. The mall also had a movie theater, and we couldn't resist heading over to watch Harry Potter.

 

Classes have started again, so it's back to the usual schedule.

 

And now, my roommate and I are having a conversation about dead Russian men.
