I just moved to another cafe. I'm now at this place called The Bookworm. It was opened by this British ex-pat who wanted a bookstore and library with English books. The Chinese libraries have very tight restrictions on what books the public are and are not allowed to read, so she wanted to offer an alternative. If you have a permanent address in Beijing and you pay 200 yuan, you can borrow 2 books at a time as long as you promise to bring them back. (P.S. The owner is sitting next to me right now :-) They have a great selection of all sorts of books philosophy, art, travel, china, classics, childrens, history, etc. Plus they have a full menu of extravagant meals and alcoholic beverages!
I just noticed an award framed on the wall from some ex-pat english magazine...
"Best Place to Find a Date"
sorry what?!? well then, my jury's still out on that one
