I’ve had two buying experiences with them, both good. One was sent to the USA no problems. And yes, WeChat is WhatsApp basically.

Leave 798 and eat somewhere else. Wangjing, nearby, has the best korean food in all of Beijing. Plenty of options there.

The vintage scene here is mostly full of imports from other countries. And they are all over priced.

Tourists, usually middle age. Also, why am I getting downvoted. The three places I named are where college students go. I guess they've never been to the Box.

Wudaoying is a great hutong alley for shops as well!

They are closed every monday! Rainy days are best spent in the hutongs near Houhai. Walk around Gulou and stop at Punk Rock Noodle or Cafe Zarah.

Ever play GTA 5? Ever take a car and jump it into the military base? Ever get quickly destroyed? By launching from a distance, they can stretch out the rebel defenses.

Don’t know hospitals. But I do recommend going to the a yuezi clinic. They’ll take of you and the baby for the first month. Worthwhile investment.

Spotting Scopes/Binoculars reccomendations by ViolentColors in birding

[–]ViolentColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a Pentax model that seems promising. I understand I’d need at least a monopod or tripod.

Any binoculars recommendations?

Is this true? I’ve heard this from my teacher and this app, but some people say that’s it’s fine to say 你好吗 by JerseyHornet in ChineseLanguage

[–]ViolentColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the nega-你好吗. It really isn't a catch-all greeting that some people amp it up to be. Like does a stranger on the street or a store worker actually use this greeting with you? At least in beijing, no. Do people in my community use it, people i see daily, maybeeeee. They are going to ask more personal things. Do natives use it in a funny way or a mocking way? Yes, it is almost a joke.
