Day 164-168 – Beijing

This week I went to IKEA for the first time. I went with some other people and apparently it is the cheapest place to go for coffee and soft drinks because it is the only place in China with free refills! There is a huge cafeteria there, live music, and really crowded with people. I’m not sure if every IKEA store is like that?

I got a photo of the new CCTV Headquarters building under construction. The building is really strange. Looking at it rising up makes me feel like I’m looking at the Death Star or something else unique being built.

There was a surprise later this week when a new piano was rolled into the apartment. They say it is for the 5 year old girl, who took lessons last year. I tried to stay out of the house the first day because it was new. After one day it was covered up under one or two layers of cloth and blankets (for dust?) and haven’t heard it much. I got to try it a little bit, but not very inviting when it is covered up so much.
