Surviving is hard but oh so much fun (sometimes)
In and Out (一坐一忘) – Chinese, Yunnan cuisine
Tun San Li Yongli International Plaza, 21 Gongti Beilu, go around the building on the outside, the restaurant is on the north-east side.
Spacious and nice restaurant, summer time outside seating available.
Had dinner there with Sun on 27 September.
I like Yunnan food and this restaurant is pretty good. I can recommend.
On 8 September the Rotary Club of Beijing organized a social event and buffet dinner at the German restaurant Hacker-Pschorr Bräuhaus. See earlier report on the restaurant:

The event was also for the Beijing Rotaract Club, visiting Rotarians and friends of Rotary. At the occasion, Rotaract received the Rotary 2014-2015 Presidential Citation.
Great food, a lot of beer and lively chats!
On Friday 13 November the Belgian Embassy celebrated King’s Day, which falls on 15 November. For most it is the “de facto” National Day as in summertime most people are away. This year, hundreds of people attended. Ambassador Malherbe hosted a winter reception at his residence and in the surrounding garden. Catering was done by TRB, serving small appetizers (blood sausage, beef stew and other), fish soup, waffles, Belgian fries and more. And thanks to the Embassy, a wide variety of great Belgian beers (some more bottles for my collection!).
TRB missed the right word for “Frietkot”. Not Fritkot. But the fries were OK!
More pictures of the yesterday’s visit to LONG ZHEN Senior Care home!
Our young people did such a great job. The pictures tell the story…
On 16 November one of the well-attended weekly meetings in The Bookworm, every Monday evening 8 to 9 pm. We even had three Rotarians! All this to prepare the upcoming events.
(note the light in The Bookworm is RED, thus the special colors…)
