Outback in Beijing

Located at workers stadium in Beijing, Outback is one of the best and most authentic Australian restaurants in Beijing to have a steak.

New Beijing airport

The Beijing airport new terminal is swanky but not without its design flaws. The toilets near exit gate do not have enough space to keep the baggage trolley. The ceilings are quite high and modular.

A1 and karthikeyan in Shanghai

The fastest indian on road was in shanhai last week. A few race afficianados were invited to a close chat session at bukhara. First look - karthikeyan's humilty and candor was a surprise. Most of us stayed back late chatting about new race developments. K handed out free passes for all present ( and not) as a result of which a big group of indians turned for the final race and cheered K, who had a honorable finish at 6th position.

a grand show covering various dance styles of India supported by a
crew of 65 members. The show was compered by kabir bedi and well
covered by Chinese media. Frequent such exchanges will be useful to

Dalian

Possibly one of the best city to live in and work in china. The town
architecture and planning is quite modern and futuristic. The tourist
locations are nothing interesting but be aware of the ticket touts.
Dalian us also the fashion capital of china and to witness this you
should go underground (market).Zhongshan hotel downtown has an Indian
restaurant.

Pizza hut @ dalian

Lots of Russian influence, even at pizza hut
