This last weekend was quite social for Wendy and I. I reconnected with old friends from last year but this time with Wendy. We met up with Ash a great guy from the UK for dinner at the Chinese BBQ Friday night and Lisa at the 798 Art District Sunday. You often never know where your evenings will take you and after dinner on Friday Wendy retired to the apartment and Ash and I visited the Bull Bar. We met a few Koreans over a few shots of Jack Daniels. With the wine flowing I agreed to met with Bryan and his wife who live in our building complex Saturday night for supper with Wendy. We were a little hesitant to meet up but glad we did and have possibly made some new friends. Bryan and Adrian helped us with our VPN woes by introducing us to another provider from Korea. So far this new VPN has been working great.
We also made time for a walk in our park and with the change of season. It was a nice morning out.
I had been to the 798 District before but that was almost a year ago. This area was an industrial zone and has been redone with trendy shops and art galleries. We met Lisa at the subway stop Wangjing West and with Mapsme took a short walk to the Art District. A huge place that we will need to visit again. We ate at a German restaurant and it was a nice finish to the day. The tree house was a neat place that Wendy captured but we did not visit.
As the sign says it is a house built around a huge tree. The subway ride home as always was long but we had a full weekend and were tired when we got home. I worked out when I got home and Wendy stayed in the apartment for the evening. We spent some time watching tv and speaking with the boys as they were at Phil’s for a weekend. I am back at work and Monday has gone okay. Hard to believe we are heading into November this week.
