I am a man of my word. I promised that if I ever found myself living in a hutong I would call my mother and tell her: “mother, I am happy”. And indeed, today I find myself living in the most beautiful hutong courtyard hotel. After my trip to Hong Kong was interrupted last week I decided to try something new here in Beijing, to take the sting off the limbo I’m in. By chance I found myself checking into Haoyuan Bingguan - “the guest house with the nice garden”.
I’m spending the weekend catching up with work and admin stuff after the Hong Kong typhoons wasted Thursday and Friday. While there are much better ways I could imagine spending a weekend, I must admit I couldn’t work in better surroundings and I am thoroughly enjoying the courtyard experience.
Some people watch football, some people read manga. I try to find cool places to work. I suppose you could call me a work-geek.
Oh, speaking of nothing, I’ve lost my Hong Kong cash card… How did that happen?
