Feb is a great month to celebrate love. You cannot help but notice love smitten couples on the subway holding hands, or those red roses they are selling here,there and everywhere!
Feb is the month when Love's still in the air, just before the trees start to bloom and then it's just Pollens in the air! Haha!
This Sunday, we tried out a Greek/Mediterranean Restaurant - Athena. The 68RMB lunch buffet (which includes my fav- moussaka) is worth the money. The place is painted blue and white and reminded me of "Villa Donna" the hotel run by Meryl Streep in the movie Mama Mia!
We discovered another place to hang out in Sanlitun about two weeks ago. We found it by chance while looking for the Middle 8th Yunnan restaurant. The place is called Jazz Ya and is on the Bar Street Side of a small lane opposite the Art Gallery in Nali Patio.
This place is popular for the Japanese food , but also has Pastas and Chuanr on the menu. Food is average but it's a nice place if you want to hang out with friends, chill out and catch up on gossip.
Our fav spot to hang out this winter was the Bookworm in Sanlitun. I am usually just surfing the internet or looking around for a nice book to read; while Abhilash uses the time to do some pencil sketching.
Waiting for the weather to get warmer so we can't get started with some outdoor activities and burn off those calories we have been adding on since Christmas!

7th Best in the World: The Bookworm, Beijing, China
The Bookworm does everything a good bookshop should do - which is a lot more than sell books. Not only is it one of the few places in China where you can pick up books, it also has a lending library.The library is also the setting for a healthy program of events, from gigs to an annual literary festival.
This year the annual festival runs from 4th of March to 18th of March. Check - www.chinabookworm.com for more details.
