Friday night was fantastic. Seriously, the people on this forum are even more awesome in person than they appear to be online. Finally got to meet the lovely Varya, although we sat too far away from one another so another date is in the plans for us!!

Pete, Peter, Paul + co, James... it was great to party with you for the first (and hopefully not the last) time!
The Pass-by Bar/Cafe was very nice, I thought that it was a really cool way to start off the night. The Yang Rou chuan'r pizza was amazing. Pool bar was great; I agree with Nolefan - unpretentious, cozy, reasonably priced. A shame that we didn't get to hear the Subs play, but the night turned out fantastic nonetheless. Good times followed at Rickshaw and Nanjie

one of the most fun and relaxed nights in Beijing for me!
