WEEK IN REVIEW: Guess who's back!

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It's getting very cold in Beijing, but we're still playing disc (indoors, BCIS -- see side panel). The yuan is appreciating, yet the currency of love and shame remains, and we spend accordingly. New people come, and new bars open, yet Beijing Ultimate continues its reign as the best community in the city. And potsticker demand in the northwestern part of the United States, from what I hear, increases every day, but Julia Filip is here, in our city, celebrating with friends she made way, way back, during times we may have forgotten. Life is pretty great, isn't it?

Jehan, 12/7:

Hey Potential Santas,

This Saturday afternoon there will be a pub crawl around beijing while dressed up as Santa Claus. It's called Santacon, it's been going on in the states for over 15 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SantaCon) and for the last few years here in Beijing.

Any info you may need (including where to get costumes) can be found at www.bjsantacon.com. The start time and location will be announced Friday night on the website, if you plan on coming later you can call me to catch us en-route.

-Jehan

I, personally, have little interest in dressing up as a potbellied child molester, but to each his own, I guess.

Come back Wednesday for a special text retrospective.
