  • Kitchen Salvadore, Seoul

    Mike took me to The Kitchen Salvadore. Here I am ordering up a storm. The place is a Japanese owned Italian chain, in fact I think there’s a kitchen salvadore in Shanghai though I’ve never been. Simple food, good conversation, It was a very good night.

  • Shanghai Again

This view is out of Le Royal Méridien. I used to always pass by this hotel and thought of it as just an average place. […]

  • Glen Beijing

    Tucked away in a dim lit, uninviting office building somewhere around san li tun, I discovered this bar called “Glen” that does fantastic mix drinks, mostly martinis. The bottles made me wish I could drink like Draper that night.

Got any book recommendations?
