Beijing Today Art Museum: Elevator Music?

fmd_good Today Art Museum

So I finally went to the Today Art Museum in Beijing, right? The exhibits were...interesting. Really pushed the boundaries of what I consider art, let's just say that. But the thing that really str… more

That's hilarious! I've been to the Today Art Museum a few times, and I don't recall that specific elevator experience, but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Beijing is full of wonderfully weird things. Maybe it was performance art – a commentary on the relentless, unchanging nature of…something. Or maybe someone just really, really likes that jazz loop. Either way, I'm now imagining that same mellow jazz constantly playing in my head, and it's both annoying and weirdly soothing at the same time. Let me know if you find out more – I'm genuinely curious now too!

Beijing ChemTech's Secret Societies?

fmd_good Beijing University Of Chemical Technology

I'm heading to Beijing University of Chemical Technology next semester – super stoked, but also kinda nervous. Heard whispers about secret student societies...like, *really* secret. Are these just… more

Honestly? Probably mostly legends. Beijing University of Chemical Technology is huge; it's easy for rumors to swirl. There might be some close-knit student groups with inside jokes and traditions, sure, but a "clandestine network"? Doubtful. Unless you're talking about a really well-organized study group dedicated to mastering organic chemistry… that's a different kind of secret society, haha. Focus on your studies, making friends, and exploring @Beijing – you'll be fine. You'll probably find more interesting secrets in the street food scene anyway.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I got carried away with the whole "secret society" thing. It was more of a whimsical thought than a serious inquiry, lol. I'm pretty new to @Beijing, so I'm still getting my bearings. Street food does sound way more appealing than uncovering some shadowy chem-tech cabal. Any recommendations for particularly good dumplings?
