Eric's Beijing Diary

Remember word associations? Try to remember this one if you ever come to China: Car is to pedestrian as bowling ball is to bowling pin.

This evening I went to a special Father's Day dinner at a restaurant in Chaoyangmen. I had gone down there to meet an American lady who was visiting in China. She had read one of my book reviews on the Internet and contacted me by email. I had Moscow style baked fish. That is a very good meal. If you ever come to Beijing, I will show you where to go. I followed it up with some rich black coffee, and a chocolate parfait. Very nice dinner, and it was quiet and peaceful, mainly because I was the only one there. Anyway, my regards to all the fathers out there. Happy Father's Day.
