phyrex Posted March 8, 2010 at 12:05 AM Report Posted March 8, 2010 at 12:05 AM I'm back to Beijing too, and would like to revive that Quote
schwanja Posted March 8, 2010 at 01:44 PM Report Posted March 8, 2010 at 01:44 PM Cool, I'm game! Quote
phyrex Posted March 8, 2010 at 01:46 PM Report Posted March 8, 2010 at 01:46 PM Well if enough people are interested, we can all just meet up, even if storyline doesn't answer. So.. who is interested? Quote
Jasarn Posted March 9, 2010 at 11:26 AM Report Posted March 9, 2010 at 11:26 AM I'm interested ^^ Quote
phyrex Posted March 9, 2010 at 10:57 PM Report Posted March 9, 2010 at 10:57 PM Anybody else, or is it just Jasarn and me meeting up for a coffee? Quote
valikor Posted March 10, 2010 at 12:12 PM Report Posted March 10, 2010 at 12:12 PM I could meet. My chinese sucks though. Quote
phyrex Posted March 12, 2010 at 10:33 PM Report Posted March 12, 2010 at 10:33 PM How about meeting either this sunday or monday evening for a coffee or pizza or somesuch? Any preferences? Quote
valikor Posted March 12, 2010 at 11:04 PM Report Posted March 12, 2010 at 11:04 PM Neither of those times sounds especially convenient, but of the two, Monday is probably better. Quote
phyrex Posted March 12, 2010 at 11:06 PM Report Posted March 12, 2010 at 11:06 PM Well, what would be convenient for you? Since we're so few people, we have at least more freedom in choosing a time Quote
valikor Posted March 13, 2010 at 03:36 PM Report Posted March 13, 2010 at 03:36 PM Wednesday or Thursday should work for me. There's not really a hurry, right? Quote
phyrex Posted March 14, 2010 at 12:29 AM Report Posted March 14, 2010 at 12:29 AM Fine for me. Wednesday evening then? Who is in? Quote
Hüsker Dü Posted March 14, 2010 at 01:39 AM Report Posted March 14, 2010 at 01:39 AM Where in Beijing are you planning to meet? Quote
phyrex Posted March 14, 2010 at 01:41 AM Report Posted March 14, 2010 at 01:41 AM 五道口 Wudaokou area? Quote
valikor Posted March 14, 2010 at 02:35 PM Report Posted March 14, 2010 at 02:35 PM Well, since I was the one that suggested Wednesday, I guess I'm obliged to say "I'm in" heh. Quote
phyrex Posted March 14, 2010 at 02:36 PM Report Posted March 14, 2010 at 02:36 PM You better do! I don't plan to pathetically sit around alone, assuring people that "they'll come soon! For sure!" Quote
Jasarn Posted March 14, 2010 at 02:51 PM Report Posted March 14, 2010 at 02:51 PM Wednesday sounds good.. I'll be in Wudaokou on Wednesday anyway I think Quote
