There’s a stretch in Beijing called nan luo gu xiang, and it’s rad. You might see a lot of expats (what is my baggage with these expats zones?), but it’s got the old world hutong (alley) / courtyard feel combined with the eye candy of artsy hip boutiques, comfort of cafes, and familiarity of consumerism. Lots of young folks hang out here.

These shirts sort of poked fun at classic Beijing characters. You see the spitter, the sweltering happy-go-lucky guy with a revealed belly, and I can’t tell what’s up with the guy perched above them. Does it say “no piracy”?
