Walking in the Forbidden City (Beijing, China)...

Postby Sunnyfield » Sun May 29, 2005 1:43 pm

So there I was in Beijing, home to some of China's most impressive cultural heritage. Of course I had to visit the ancient Forbidden City. While I was admiring one building after the other I was surprised to find out that the Chinese emperors did not just drink tea, but also coffee... apparently...

If there is one thing you can be certain about when it comes to good old *$: they know how to pick a good site to sell bad coffee! If only they spent some of this on staff standards instead!

Cant say much for the staff or the equipment, but the choice of green beans is very good, just a pitty they burn the nuts of it!
