September '08 issue of the Beijinger is out

David Beckham kicked a ball into the crowd, the Olympic flame petered out, and that, as they say, was that. No more Olympics - so what do we do now?
We suggest:

Paralympics! If you thought the Olympics were inspiring, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Enjoy the clean air while you can. Come the end of the month, it's back to business as usual, the factories will be switched back on and there'll be double the cars.

You can also enjoy the band Air. The French duo performs at Yugong Yishan on Sep 26 and 27.

Go to Fengtai. No, seriously - Kanye West is performing at Fengtai Stadium on September 25. We're offering readers a chance to win two VIP tickets to Kanye West’s Beijing gig. All you need to do is answer all the questions in the month's Trivia Travails correctly (send to editor@thebeijinger.com) and you'll be doing whatever Kayne does, with Kayne, behind closed doors. How exciting!

Do what you've always done! It's not like Beijing's ever had a dearth of entertainment options. From art (this month Faurschou Beijing exhibits Warhol's Sports, Stars, Society) to theatre (Puccini's famously unfinished Turandot) to eating and drinking (we review 12 new restaurants and four new bars).

All this and more can be found in the latest issue of the Beijinger.
