BEIJING 798

Hey all...

Just hopped in from BJ for 5 days for work.. busy busy.. managed to sneak out for brunch and a quick pitstop here at 798.

798 used to be the code for this area in Beijing during the wall so that the enemies.. didn't know where exactly to bomb..cos it was coded with a number...i am sure some of you will of course know it better than me...i first went here like 2 years ago... and it was pretty derelict...

It has become an artist area..old industrial buildings.. bauhaus architecture.. russian spaces.. now all with artists, galleries..advertising firms..artsy cafes...have moved in. its become alot more touristy since i last went there just 6 months ago.. a bit worrying..

New NIKE gallery.. stopped by to see the exhibition there..

FORCE of love..cool to see this in BJ...

 this is exactly what i need to organise my sneaker collection...
