Met up with a lovely man named Simon, and one of his friends Shannon to go to an IT networking session. Ended up bumping into the Beijing LUG President and a few other great people. We mosied over to a place called Da Shan Zi which was an industrial area converted into a very groovy artists area. Had a lovely dinner, some drinks and great conversation. I certainly have a lot more respect for Beijing now, so it is just a matter of convinceing Jeff 😉
The gang all wandered home about 12ish, and I’ll hopefully be doing a talk for the Beijing LUG on FOSS and Education.
Looks like we’ll be going to Shanghai this weekend, depending on train times. Grisel gets here about 10ish on Friday night, so hopefully it’ll be Gris, Li Li (Natalie’s new nickname) and I running around having fun 🙂
Went to the Great Wall and met some of the locals 🙂
Still don’t have any mouth issues. Looks like the Chinese dentist did an exceptional job.
