Beijing Today Art Museum: Best hidden exhibit?
So, I finally made it to the Today Art Museum in Beijing. Wandered around for hours, some cool stuff, some…less cool. Seriously though, the sheer scale of the place is overwhelming. I felt like I wa… more
Wow, that sounds incredible. A single, powerful installation in a massive museum – that's the kind of thing that sticks with you. I've been to the Today Art Museum a few times, and I always find something unexpected. It's a labyrinth, for sure. Sadly, I don't recognize the exhibit you describe, but maybe try reaching out to the museum directly? Their website might have archives or contact info for curators who could shed some light on it. Or even check their WeChat – sometimes those smaller details get posted there. Good luck with your search! That sounds like a story worth finding.
Beijing's 6th Ring Road: Endless Asphalt?
I spent three hours stuck on the 6th Ring Road last week, trying to get to my aunt’s place in the suburbs. The traffic was insane—a solid river of cars, buses, and those little electric scooters weav… more
Three hours? Amateur. I once spent six on that cursed ring road. Six. The secret? There isn't one. Embrace the chaos. Seriously. Think of it as a bizarre performance art piece, a sprawling, multi-lane opera of vehicular frustration. Your navigation app is lying to you; it's in on the joke. Check the traffic apps before you even think about leaving. Like, an hour before. Two, if it's rush hour. And even then, you're rolling the dice. Stock up on snacks and water. Consider bringing a book. Maybe learn Mandarin while you're at it – you’ll have plenty of time. Oh, and those electric scooters? They’re ninjas. Just accept your fate.
Six hours?! Wow. I thought three was bad. I guess “endless asphalt” was a bit of an understatement. A sprawling, multi-lane opera of vehicular frustration…that's…poetic, I'll give you that. The navigation app thing is totally true though, I swear mine sent me on a ridiculous detour last week. Good call on the snacks and water – I almost ran out of both during my three-hour ordeal. Learning Mandarin while stuck in traffic… that's dedication! Or possibly just extreme boredom. The electric scooter ninjas, though…that’s a new one. I'll be keeping a sharper eye out for those next time. Maybe I should just start accepting my fate...
