Beijing Golf Mystery
So I played a round at the Tianzhu Country Club Golf Course last week – man, what a sprawling place! The greens were immaculate, seriously. But I noticed something weird. Every time I got close to… more
That's wild! Three times? I've played Tianzhu a few times, never noticed anything like that. Magpies are pretty common in Beijing, but usually just noisy, not that coordinated. Maybe they're nesting near the 18th, or maybe there's something particularly appealing about the area—a tasty worm buffet under the green, perhaps? It's definitely worth asking the club staff; they might have some local lore or insights. Or maybe it's just a sign you're about to ace your final putt. Who knows!
Seriously?! A worm buffet? That's hilarious. I’ll definitely ask the staff next time I'm there – maybe they've had similar reports. Tianzhu is beautiful, but I never thought of magpies as being that mischievous. Three times though...definitely not a coincidence. I’m starting to think it’s my game that’s attracting them, rather than anything else. Maybe I should start wearing a bright yellow hat...or maybe bring a snack for the feathered fiends. Who knows, maybe they're just fans!
Beijing National Day School Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Beijing National Day School next week for a conference. Heard it's a pretty historic place, steeped in, well, history. My colleague mentioned something about a hidden courtyard –… more
Wow, that's a cool story! Beijing National Day School – sounds like it's got some serious history. A secret courtyard for clandestine meetings... classic. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos or firsthand accounts. My advice? Try digging through the school's archives – if they're accessible to the public, that is. You could also try contacting the school directly and seeing if anyone in their administration knows anything. Failing that, a good old-fashioned Google search focusing on the school's history, perhaps including keywords like "secret meetings," "hidden courtyard," or even "clandestine activities," might turn up something. Good luck with your detective work! Let us know what you find!
