Six Year Gaming Session
These days, no Chinese street is complete without one. Tucked in between the cigarette shop and chuanr stand lies another kind of emporium, offering something that can be equally as damaging to your health: the on-line gaming bar. If you dont know your Chinese characters, the signs look something like this, 网吧, and we can guarantee that unless the pollution is particularly thick its impossible to travel from A to B in BJ without seeing one.
