Day 9: Last day in Beijing

Such an interesting last day in Beijing. Started the day by going to brandnü  near Lama Temple to donate clothes that couldn't fit our overweight luggages. Then headed on to the well awaited English brunch right next door at the Vineyard Cafe. Much to our surprise, it was close for Chinese New Year so ended up at a random Chinese restaurant.

Dinner at Nanjing Impressions. Ambiance was wonderful! Felt like we were in a Chinese period movie.

We ended the day with some last-minute packing. China we'll miss you. Thanks for all the bittersweet memories. See you in 10 years. Till then!

Day 2: Naming the Blog

We’ve decided to name our blog 365 Days of Avocado to chronicle a year's pursuit of realizing our dream. "Avocado" is an allusion to the nature of our venture, which will remain a mystery for now. 

Spending the afternoon at Bridge Café, a popular hang out place for students, both foreigners and locals alike, to draw up a layout for our business concept. Aside from being an ideal place to have a cuppa, it's also good for people watching.

Browsing through different websites for inspiration raises many questions! Measurements, proportions, ratios, color, equipment, specs, space planning, etc... Ayayay... It’s our first business venture and we’ve no experience whatsoever.  None, nada, nil. To top it off, we’re recent grads and this will be our first voyage into the real world. Mistakes will definitely be made and it’s gonna be a steep learning curve but hopefully, Nee and I won’t be sprouting grey hair anytime soon.
