Wednesday night, we went to Ganges, a small Indian restaurant in Haidian. They were full when we arrived but managed to seat us pretty quickly, with drinks while we waited.
The menus were trilingual, and one of the staff spoke English! He was really helpful with [...]
Der Landgraf
A2 Pufang Lu, Fangzhuang, Fengtai, Beijing
芳庄蒲芳路甲二号
This Saturday, Stick and I went out to German restaurant in Fengtai. We planned to trek out there, have lunch and then, assuming an authentic German restaurant didn’t exist in a vacuum, wander around the area.
Der Landgraf was easily spotted because it had a winterized beer garden in [...]
So I heard a rumor that the masterminds at Blizzard were about to change World Of WarCraft from a monthly subscription to free in China. I was pretty excited, my boyfriend and I have been talking about getting a copy of Chinese WoW to practice our Chinese as we slay bad guys, and waiving the [...]

On Saturday, Stick and I roused ourselves from our WarCraft stupor and went out in search of sour cream. Stick thinks that a life without sour cream is barely worth living, and Stick complains so rarely that I mapped out a route from our apartment to the embassy district’s Friendship Store.
We came out of the [...]
Stick and I went to the Capital Museum to see the Treasures From The Louvre: Art From Ancient Greece exhibit. Stick and I are both classicists so we were really excited to go. It was great to see statues and vases showing stories we could “read” instead of seeing some guy… with a dragon… um… [...]
No, really.
So in my last class today, we were playing Guess Who? (Made extra challenging because all the kids have the same hair color, eye color and are wearing the same uniform) when there’s an awful sound outside the window. It’s the sound of the skies opening, of torrential rain, of… some guy spraying [...]

They actually go out of their way to figure out which dish I [...]
