Caffeine!
I went to the Shanghai Foreign bookstore on Fuzhou Lu yesterday but I didn’t see a lot of variety on English books. You have the usual "Study English" or "Communicate like an American/British" etc but not much stuff on novels. Sigh..
Anyways, did the normal walking around till I got to The Coffee Beanery(took only 45 mins from the bookstore). As you remember, I used to hang out alot at the Beanery in Beijing. Anyways, the branch in Beijing has closed down (according to a very reliable source)which is kind of sad considering that the staff were always friendly & of course, my friends(Punker, Kawaii, Boy,Baller,Slossy etc) & I were comfortable(if only they had changed the CD more often so that we didn’t have to listen to MLTR’s "Take Me to Your Heart" a million times) to a certain extent there. Sigh..
So, I decided to check out the Beanery here. It’s much bigger plus they have separate areas for smokers/non-smokers. And of course, they do have free wireless.. The staff were friendly but for some weird reason, they didn’t seem to understand me when I spoke putonghua. Am I starting to suck at my Chinese?!? Hmm, anyways, it’s been great just sitting in a coffee place & just messing around with my baby. I miss doing this. Wish my Beijing Freaks were around.
Oh, before I forget, I have a "date" with Arab when I get back to Singapore!!Bwahaha! I suggested One Rochester & he said ok! I think I’m going to make it more fun & bring Toonz & Powz too!! Yay, FUN!! So, Toon/Powz, we’re gonna go when I get back ok!!
