    • One omnipresent scene in Beijing is men who fold their shirt/t-shirt halfway up to show their navels.. Though I am not sure but I guess it is to make way for some air..during the summers!!

    • Well, if you are in Beijing and don't know what MahJong is probably you haven't ventured out of your hotel premises.
    Every second street you go to youl wil find people playing it. OK, so what the hell is it...?
    It is a classic board game of Chinese origin. So while I didn't find anyone playing Chinese Checkers which carries the Chinese pride in the name itself. This one is a puzzle game. It has plastic coins which some chinese characters and the goal is to remove all 144 tiles from the board. You may remove only paired free tiles. The tile is free when there are no tiles either to the left or to the right from it. Anyway, I didn't play it so don't know the critical details and expert comments to make. Here we have 2 people playing it though usually its a four guys/gals game.
