I can't imagine how amazing it must be to be in Beijing during the Olympics! I know that when I make my way to Beijing, I will definitely try plenty of different restaurants and bars...but I am more excited to check out the live entertainment, especially musical and acrobatic/circus-like performances. Beijing seems like such an amazing city, so I can't wait until the first chance I get to explore it! These are some great tips!

You rent a private room for your group by the hour with servers and attendees. There are couches, a widescreen, and even buttons on the walls for applause and jeers. They are serious about bad singing there!- Greg Without a doubt, you have to go to a “K-TV” in Beijing…its the most hard core Karaoke I’ve ever seen.

I've had black friends travel to china and tell me about being approached by everyone, having them take pictures or touch them. I agree with Julie, it sounds more like curiosity than racism.

I don't see it happening and I think the article is a lot of hype about nothing.Julie, when I was in Asia they were always fascinated by black people. It's very very exotic for them and so opposite what they are used too. @helen/dan: Glad you guys have something to do!

They were considered very exotic by the Chinese in the town where we were living, and people would come up to them on the street and touch their hair and their skin. I wouldn't call this racist; I simply think that when someone hasn't had another ethnicity within their frame of reference, their first encounters are likely to be somewhat sensationalized. WHat I saw was a genuine curiosity, not racism. I traveled to China about 10 years ago and three African American women were in my group.

I'm moving to Seoul next month, and China – especially Beijing – is definitely on my list of places to visit from there. Great post!
