A bit of French touch... | 10 years old Hermes scarf (carre) |
It's time to start to build my Beijing page and i decided to do it with elegance. To my opinion this Hermes scarf that i bought 10 years ago at Heathrow's duty free would be the best introduction...ok, i will be 100% honest-this scarf was my biggest inspiration and was one of the reasons why i decided to make another trip to China..do i sound superficial and might any beautiful scarf be a true reason to visit another country?:) anyway now that's this scarf is getting older and older (may i compare it to the process of wine getting older?) it only gets more and more value...and dont even try to change my mind!:)
Really hope many tips are coming soon..........................................:)) |

I loved the hutongs! You are right. Food can be a mystery here. My friend from Beijing ordered for me a shashleek-like meat on a skewer...I LOVED it(3x I ordered it),,,untill she told me what it was..MEOW!(it was cat!)... | matt10gonzalez Thu Nov 8, 2007 04:56 UTC
Ahahaha!!!! That's true! Beware of the burgers here! Poor you- coffee was so hard to find! Haha! :) I didn't know there was a starbucks here! Only after I read your stuff I knew! Really? I didn't know you could get killed while crossing the streets here! | Groverdean Tue Jul 3, 2007 01:20 UTC
