OT: Gonna be in Beijing the week of June 28

[PJ]

I will be in Beijing from June 28 to July 3. If any of you is in town at that time, we should meet up and "say hi." Anyone?

[CC]

See you at the rooftop of the Forbidden City at Midnight on 1st July?

p.s. Bring your sword.

[chickenfeet]

If you meet Lu Xiao Feng say 'hi' from me

Tell Ye GuCheng, we already knew his plan all along.

Oh and of course, while you are around the Forbidden City, take a walk to Jingshan park and take a picture at the spot where ChongZhen commited suicide.

who is chongzhen?

[CC]

who is chongzhen?

The last Ming Emperor. Ordered Yuan Chonghuan executed. Yuan Chonghuan is the ancestor of Yuan from Sword Stained with Royal Blood. No idea how historically accurate that part is.

[chickenfeet]

who is chongzhen?

He was also the Emperor who went beserk and cut off Princess Chang Ping's (Di Nu Hua) arm before he hang himself.

[PJ]

Anyone else gonna be in town?

I guess I will see CC on the rooftop then.

chickenfeet: I will take photos near the tree where the guy hanged.

Do you have a picture of the Great Wall? Have you heard of the saying that you're not a good man until you've been to the Great Wall?

How was the food in Beijing? The food was pretty lousy when I went to Shanghai and the So province which was the first time that I went to China.

[SkyWalker]

Where was the tree located?? Was it around the Forbidden City?? I was in Beijing last Oct but never thought about visiting that tree!!!!

[Han Solo]

lol was the rice yellow...?
The ones served in the restaurants.
Last time I went, it was cheaper to go on a touring pakcage than it is to buy return tickets and accomodation of lower quality.

Went to the Great Wall during the winter. It's a hell of a climb in the freezing wind.

[K2Grey]

I am angry that there were no reports of a duel between PJ and CC.

Perhaps they merely looked at each other and that determined the battle.

It was the most mysterious battle that the martial world had ever NOT witnessed. The outcome will never be published.

Yes, I have heard of that phrase. But as fate had it, I was in recovery stage (from my duel with a certain individual) on the day that I was supposed to go there, so I had to skip it this time. I'm sure I will go there eventually.

How was the food in Beijing?

It was passable, nothing particularly memorable. A lot of places just served HK and Sichuan style food. The signature duck was quite tasty though.
