4 years since my first visit, here're some current observations on the city
- now home to China's first Apple Temple™
- decrowned as the spitting capital of the world (thanks to new measures implemented right before the olympics)
- people are perceivably wealthier
- Beijing drivers still drive with millimeter precision
- traffic lights never meant much to the drivers
- SPR is the new starbucks
- There're more Subways (the restaurant) than 7-11
- Taxi drivers continue driving me to the wrong places despite my PERFECT MANDARIN
and finally, 開浪褲 is still in season among babies :P
