When I tell my Western friends where I have been, they look at me in astonishment; but I find this is the only way to get to know a place better. Soon to be visited places on my Beijing list are the Eunuch Museum in the west of the capital, and a Museum of Tap Water near Dongzhimen. It's not that I expect them to be outstanding in any way (though if they are, then that is definitely a bonus), but as they are (as far as I am aware) the only such museums of their kind, I feel that my horizons can be suitably widened while at the same time it sure makes for interesting conversations at a later date.

Finally, one resolution I will certainly try to keep on keeping is to carry on recording my observations in a personal blog. The thing is that at some point in the future, everything that appears new and exciting now will start to feel normal. The "wow" factor you get when discovering some thing new will have disappeared and it won't be until much later that you'll wish you had kept better notes.
