  1. while procrastinating over article, googled my name (baidu'ed it) discovered I'm in online dictionary, with Chinglish! tinyurl.com/6wq5wyg
  2. @89Lioness89 its going well, I guess, but it will take them two months to sow the costume... (sigh)
  3. @SarahPinho ooh that sounds fun indeed! I on the other hand managed to avoid getting wet or muddy until I was locking my bike at home, ha
  4. @PackerNation7 hrmm... not sure, but... if you get a bike, the city is super easy to get around :)
  5. reluctantly getting ready to head out into the rain to bike over to a hutong near Dongsi for a peking opera costume fitting #notinthemood
  6. @Transition nope, not girdles ;) (a very scary thought indeed!)
  7. @SarahPinho yup, especially since Beijing's drainage system is not exactly in the best working condition (sigh)
  8. If you can guess what these things were used for in ancient Beijing, you win a virtual kiss :) instagr.am/p/LPLRskvmtM/
  9. 练完瑜珈之后,喝杯鲜榨西瓜汁,真舒服!祝大家周末愉快!#yogayard instagr.am/p/LEwMyevmmq/
  10. @a1rk1n9 nah, its pretty much just the name 匈 in Chinese and it gets translated as Huns -- "jing" character with facepaint as barbarian king
  11. @maoxian nice :)
  12. @blogdangerously it totally depends on the flavor of the @pringles ;)
  13. Day 4 of my 30 day yoga challenge -- am surprising myself with expanding flexibility and stamina :)
  14. @a1rk1n9 nope, the "Huns" refer to the barbarians to the North (during the Han dynasty) ie: the Mogolians
  15. Them crazy Huns and their oddly painted faces... (yay Peking opera nerdiness!) #beijing #北京 #京剧 #china #梅兰芳剧 instagr.am/p/K8wRkMvmtz/
  16. MCing at the Beijinger 9th Annual Reader's Bar & Club Awards at Sanlitun SOHO instagr.am/p/KzSvjNPmlG/
