"Good bookstore with a lot of books you can't find elsewhere. The prices are very high though. Use it sparingly and you will be richer and happier."

"The staff in the Chinese section will push you to buy a crappy cd-rom. Tell them you have Rosetta Stone and they will leave you alone. Great selection of English books and the prices are pretty good."

"This is a great museum and it's free! On weekends you have long queues and there are a few scam artists on the outside plaza, so be careful. There is the occasional touring show."

"Hot summer days are so much nicer when you have a Slurpee. The flavors are basic: Cola, Sprite and Fanta Orange. But they are quite nice. 5 kuai for the small and 6 kuai for the large. Bang them down"

"Sometimes the potatoes in the vegetable curry are undercooked. Make sure you get the salad and drink for only 12 kuai more. Good value."
