Amazing International City- Beijing

The hotel that I am staying in will house a group of writers next week. The function is organised by The Bookworm (www.chinabookworm.com). It is an international literary festival in celebration of literature. It has a very amazing library like cafe and English bookstore in Salitun. I enjoyed spending hours there. The cafes that I go is always filled up by expatriates and OL. There is even a trade show targeted towards expatriates. In the hotel, in the cafe, I hear French everyday. I even joked about this with my friend saying that I do not have to go to Paris learning French.
Btw, the china daily has the news about underground restaurants in Paris. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2009-02/25/content_7509577.htm.
Oui, my next stop is Paris!
