Nicole's Birthday (October, 2005)

All you can eat Arabian food at Zahara, and then a killer time at (where else) Guandii. Hope Nicole and her posse all had a great time. We know we sure did.

Qingdao (October, 2005)

The second leg of our Oct Holiday trip took us to Qingdao, pretty coastal town famed for producing Tsingtao beer and good seafood. Day 2 was spent in Laoshan, outside of Qingdao. Pretty views, European-style streets, and our quest for Tsingtao made up our memorable journey.

Beijing (October, 2005)

Oct Holiday spent visiting Grace, enjoying contemporary art, and drinking and eating as usual. Good to see all of our northern friends again, and to make some new ones. Three days at Hou Hai, Da Shan Zi (underground art district), and various eating and watering holes.
