@susheemonster.听 For sure.听 When are you available.

@Camelhu.听 What's a good place to meet people? Not necessarily going to bars or clubs.听 other ways too.

Hi,
I'll be in beijing from this weekend for the rest of the summer.
I'm doing an internship too and would be great to have someone to see the sights with/meet up at weekends with.

I'd also be grateful to hear your experiences when you first got there and how you met people.

Thanks Becky!

Hey! Are you still here? If so I'm also looking for someone to see the city, go shopping or just hang out. Look forward to your reply! Best, Angela
