Last call: Celebrity Pub Crawl V

Let’s get all third conditional here - if Jack “Pork Chop Express” Burton were in Beijing, where would you take him drinking?

Post your bar recommendations in the comment sections here and you’ll be entered into the weekly Celebrity Pub Crawl draw. So far, the itinerary for the Jack “It’s all in the reflexes” Burton covers Abella, Kro’s Nest, The Den, Sunset and Alfa.

The winner will receive:

- A bottle of Grace Vineyard Tasya’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from Torres

- A package of four books - Insider’s Guide to Beijing 2008, Mandarin Phrasebook, Healthy Chinese Cuisine: A Restaurant Ordering Guide, and Spicy Chinese Cuisine: A Restaurant Ordering Guide - from Immersion Guides.

The deadline for entries is tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon.

I’ll ask an esteemed member of the Beijing community - it was Sequoia Ronald last week - to do the draw, with the winner being announced on Wednesday. (Note: I can only ship prizes to addresses in Beijing. One entry per week per person, please. To spread the wealth for this six-week contest, only one prize per person.)

Go here for the movie trailer. Here’s another video that strings together clips of Burton.


How did this guy ever get through immigration?
