imron Posted August 18, 2011 at 12:11 PM Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 at 12:11 PM I'm going to be in Beijing for a few days in September (arriving late on the 8th, leaving early on the 12th), and figured it'd be fun to have a meetup with any fellow forumers who might happen to be around. The evening of either the 9th (Friday) or the 10th (Saturday) works well for me. If you're going to be in Beijing at that time and are interested in meeting up, please leave a reply, or send me a PM. Also, please vote for which day you'd prefer - whichever day gets the most votes wins Also feel free to suggest locations. It's been a couple of years since I was living in Beijing, so who knows what's still around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amandagmu Posted August 18, 2011 at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 at 01:38 PM Hey, I'd like to meet up! It would be nice to put faces with names....err, handles. Right now I have no definite plans yet, but I may have something Saturday out of town, so I'd vote for Friday. But who knows...! There's a nice Yunnan place in Beiluoguxiang. There's also an excellent watering hole -- Mao Mao Chong; it's near but not on Nanluoguxiang (can walk between the two easily). If you haven't been to Beijing in a couple of years it's also probably one of the places that has changed the most while still somehow remaining the same (makes sense when you see it!), so that might be a fun walk for you. But I'm also open to other suggestions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted August 18, 2011 at 04:07 PM Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 at 04:07 PM Friday's more convenient for me, but unfortunately it's in the wrong city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian US Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:26 AM Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:26 AM I'd love to meetup, so I'll have to check my schedule for when my classes start. I'm always game for Korean BBQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:48 AM Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:48 AM If you have classes on the Friday evening of a long-weekend, I humbly submit that you should consider changing schools I seem to recall amandagmu is vegetarian, so Korean BBQ might not be the most suitable choice.

Brian US Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:53 AM Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:53 AM I was hoping to get in a little more traveling in before classes start, which should be around the second week. Just got back to Beijing last night, so I'll know more today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muirm Posted September 2, 2011 at 12:55 PM Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 at 12:55 PM I'm in! Just arrived in Beijing last week for a year's stay. I also vote for Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted September 5, 2011 at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 at 01:38 PM I'm in as well! Either day is fine with me, but there is no option for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted September 6, 2011 at 12:01 AM Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 12:01 AM Ok, let's make it Friday the 9th then. I like the suggestion about finding something around Beiluoguxiang/Nanluoguxiang. What do others think? Also, if you are interested in coming, please let me know your mobile number via PM. When I get to Beijing and get a local SIM card I'll send you my number, which should make it easier to meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoJian Posted September 6, 2011 at 01:18 AM Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 01:18 AM I like to join, but I'm afraid I can't due to my awful oral English... Just wish your meet-up party are successful and imron will have a good time in Beijing~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted September 6, 2011 at 02:06 AM Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 02:06 AM Don't worry, we can also speak Chinese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoJian Posted September 6, 2011 at 06:44 AM Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 06:44 AM Don't worry, we can also speak Chinese hehe, you guys are really compatible If the place of assembly near around Wudaokou, I would like to join, cause I may get in there on time after work. And recommend one vegetarian restaurant there. '天厨妙香' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted September 6, 2011 at 08:12 AM Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 08:12 AM I like the suggestion about finding something around Beiluoguxiang/Nanluoguxiang. What do others think? The only place I can think of that I know you haven't already been to Imron is . . . lemme find it . . .this one? Not sure, but it looks good anyway. The one I'm thinking of is opposite the Yunnan place we ate at once on 旧鼓楼大街. I've not been in Beijing for the best part of a year, so it's maybe all knocked down anyway. I'd probably still send you to the Guangxi place I sent us last time you were in town. And you still haven't been to the vegetarian place everyone loves, despite everyone loving it. Which I take as a personal insult. Do we have a head count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted September 6, 2011 at 01:58 PM Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 01:58 PM Where is this vegetarian place again? amandagmu is vegetarian I recall, so it might be worth a look in. Will be on a plane all thursday, so probably best to sort it out by tomorrow at latest :-) Head count based on this thread is 5 so far. Based on the number of people who have PMed me 0 + 1 (myself).

roddy Posted September 6, 2011 at 02:02 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 02:02 PM Here - can be a little tricky to find, and you may well have to wait for a table, especially on a Friday night. It's a bit of a walk from anywhere for a drink though. Not very far, mind. Oh, or the dumpling place? They've got enough non-meat ones to keep vegetarians happy. Based on the number of people who have PMed me 0 + 1 (myself). KFC it is then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted September 6, 2011 at 08:49 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 08:49 PM Roddy, is that the vegetarian place we went to in November 2009? That was some excellent food! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
