I'm stealing my friend Austin's idea. He does a daily blog with a little blurb about something that interests him, and adds a picture or two. I figure this'll be nice for family especially, who are always wondering what I'm up to. Friends too.
On Saturday night Nick, Mat, and I were walking around Wudaokou, which is the club/bar/karaoke/bookstore/neon/korean/college part of Beijing. It's pretty nice, has some clean skyscrapers too. 9 pm, we're walking, we see a place called "Cafe Lion King", think "Hey, this sounds like a fun place to have a coffee". We get in and are ushered into our own room with a booth, disco light, and TV. That's not a cafe. Can anyone say Karaoke? 3 guys badly singing songs on a Saturday night, hooray. And on accident, too.
Mat and Nick. Why is Nick Devlin in Asia? I don't know.
