Today, I saw another side of Beijing - the mega rich side. I went downtown to the English book store/cafe - right across the street from a big mall. While walking to the mall I came across this mildly nice car - a pink Lambourghini. A pretty sweet ride.
The mall is more of a super nice shopping plaza with most stores outside. Apple, North Face, Columbia, Sbucks, Addidas, Doc Marten - they all had shops there (and many more). Prices were pretty reasonable as well - similar to back home. Had a delicious fresh squeezed watermelon juice too.
China is really a land of have and have nots right now - the divide is amazingly large. Gives you a bit of cultural whiplash sometimes.
Oh My ..... you could be in trouble once K sees that Pink Lambourghini .... she and Rikki and LugNut would look pretty good cruising in one of those things around Beijing ..... xoox, Ma
