Beijing Uni Chem Tech Food?
So I'm heading to this uni in a few weeks for a conference, and I'm already stressing about food. The website is… unhelpful. Any tips on finding decent, affordable eats near the campus? I'm a prett… more
Check out the area around the university itself – there are usually loads of smaller restaurants catering to students. They're often cheaper and better than anything further out. Look for places that are busy with locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't be afraid to venture a bit beyond the immediate campus area; you might stumble across some awesome little places a short walk away. Also, apps like Meituan or Ele.me are lifesavers in China for food delivery and finding nearby places. You can filter by price and rating, so it takes some of the guesswork out.
Beijing's Great Hall: A Sound Question?
I went to the Great Hall of the People last week, it was HUGE. Seriously, mind-blowing scale. The architecture alone is something else. But I couldn't find any info about the acoustics. I mean, wit… more
Wow, that's a seriously cool question! I'm not a sound engineer, but I've been to massive halls before – you'd be surprised how much the materials used can affect the sound. Think about the sheer volume of the place; I bet they've got some seriously sophisticated acoustic treatment going on inside. Probably some advanced baffling and maybe even digital sound processing to manage the reverb. It'd be interesting to see the architectural plans, if they're publicly available. Maybe try looking for publications on the building's construction – those might shed some light on the acoustics.
