@yasmine have fun in China.

I can really recommend the Forbidden City. It doesn't have a StarBucks prominently anymore. I was unlucky enough to visit it when it still did, it's apparently much nicer now 😁

@yasmine I had no issue communicating, my Chinese was poor and their English was much better in most of the cases. I was supposed to only stay for a couple of nights and ended up spending a month in Beijing. My Chinese was still poor at the end of it, and it was much better than when I arrived

@webhat @yasmine

Please tell me that you're kidding. There was a Starbucks INSIDE the Forbidden City in Beijing?

There wasn't one when I visited it in 2005, and I hope there won't be any of that when I'm going there this summer.

@webhat @yasmine My guide was a colleague from BUAA. We went for a few drinks afterwards. I tried to pay but lost the fight.
