Prepare yourself for a pre-Halloween Pi meets Ano evening at Club Suzie Wong.

A well played piano sounds beautiful but to produce such a beautiful sound it needs both black and white keys. Come and join us for a black (pi) and white (ano) evening. You decide whether you are black or white. We provide each person with a choice of either a black or white mask – you choose which suits you best.

This evening is a chance for members and friends to let their hair down and have some fun with people they know and trust. Suzie Wong have promised us special drink prices that are pocket friendly and a special atmosphere conducive for this event.

Club Suzie Wong opened in 2002 and remains one of the longest-running clubs in China.  The club was created with the elite in mind and was designed to evoke feelings of luxury, romance, beauty and culture while still allowing guests to feel “at home”. Suzie Wong's has recently undergone some major renovations to expand beyond its traditional, energetic nightlife scene by providing business professionals with an upmarket, relaxed place to unwind after a stressful day.

Cost: 100RMB
Includes: a free drink, snacks, special drink prices and a Lucky Draw prize.

Venue: Club Suzie Wong, Chaoyang Park West Gate.

See you Tuesday

A fun social evening both to meet some great people and to help matchmake people looking for jobs with people looking for staff.

Tuesday 20 November

When Creative meets Fashion we get new ideas that stimulate, titillate and fascinate. This Creative meets Fashion networking evening does exactly that. However, despite the best efforts of the most creative of designers and despite having the most fashionable wardrobe in Beijing we will still not look our best if we know not how to stand.

This month's featured guest, Lily, is dedicated to helping us look better and to correcting some painful habits.

Time: 20 November from 7:30pm

Venue: Zeta Bar, Hilton Beijing, 1 Dong Fang Road, North Dongsanhuan Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing

中国北京市朝阳区东三环北路东方路一号北京希尔顿酒店二层   


People often spend a lot of time and money on clothes, cosmetics and beauty treatments. However, most of us forget the basic fact that bad posture both makes us look bad and is bad for our health.  Modern society is blighted with spinal heath issues which seriously affect the quality of our lives. This problem is especially prominent amongst office workers, who have to lean over the computer screen most of the working day.

Lily, a physical therapist from Therapine, will talk about the importance of correct posture at work and how by changing some habits and though some simple exercises we can improve our posture, our health, our self image, our attractiveness. Physical therapy and sports rehabilitation are proven methods to rectify existing problems and Lily will explain more about how we can counter-act these signs of body wear and tear.

Entrance fee includes:

Hi Everyone,

I will be moving to Beijing from Oman for a year at the end of April. I was wondering if there will be a gathering on the 30th of April? I was told it is a national holiday in China on the 30th so I wanted to check if the gathering will be cancelled on that day or not.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Ahlaam

An excellent question.

I was not planning on organising a get together for 30 April since I assumed everyone would be busy.

However, if I get a lot of "yes please" type of messages here I will arrange one.
