Love near an escalator: Big-boned Beijing babe
So much for the petite Chinese woman. This monstrous madam oversees customers shopping in the Yintai Center. According to an English translation on a nearby plaque, her name is Lili, she is from the future, and, “Maybe she is predicting the end of humanity.” So, hurry and get that LVMH bag!
And I know this has nothing to do with Beijing nightlife, though Lili would be the ultimate door person if a spot called “Lady Bar” ever opened.
Brain drain: Austcham to hold charity quiz with ~200 people
-
About 200 people are signed up for this Saturday night’s “brain drain” quiz at The Hilton, says Susan Clear of the Australian Chamber of Commerce, organizer of the event. The entry fee is RMB365, includes a three-course meal and free-flow wine and beer, and will see all proceeds go to Yearn to Learn, “a newly established charity with a vision of developing fully functional classrooms and therapeutical facilities for children within orphanages.” In other words, the money will go to help orphans.
“The quiz masters are not Australian, there is not a strong Australian element to the questions,” says Clear, meaning the contest is open to anyone. For more info, or to register, see the poster above or this link.
