I've checked the company's website, they actually wrote 250cm fot the wall thickness, but I think it's a mistake, they meant 25cm. Because for the floor hight they wrote 3 meters, not 300 cm. Also 250 cm for a wall doesn't make any sense, and it looks more like 25 cm than 250 on the pictures
Tour De Chicken is conveniently located in Haidian District's 玲珑路辅路 (50 meters west, and across a pedestrian overpass, from "Exit I" of 慈寿寺 subway station).

Seriously, ding (鼎)is not for food cooking!! It was used for ritual activities, symbol of power to the king~!
According to wiki, Ding (Chinese: 鼎, dǐng), formerly romanized as ting, were prehistoric and ancient Chinese cauldrons, standing upon legs with a lid and two facing handles. Ding was originally an ordinary ceramic cooking, serving and storage vessel, and was used to Chinese ritual bronzes later. Or baidu, this tripod caldron was used to cook things, or as instruments of torture in Shang and Zhou dynasty.
All your posts about people treating you badly (and just generally everything you write) makes you seem like a arrogant twat with no self-awareness. Way to make this all about yourself. Good input.
I completely understand your opinion of me.
As a Chinese, my living experience in China, my mode of communication with the local people, as well as the way I am treated by them, are essentially different from yours, and that may explain why some of my anger and cynicism toward the society that I come from don't make full sense to you.
It also depends on how you look at this forum, whether you take it more seriously or more casually, and I am more of the latter. I understand that talking a lot about my own experiences may appear self-centered, but that takes much less time.
Plus, there aren't many comments anyway. Sometimes my comment is the only one below a post---it really feels like I'm amusing myself. I didn't even realize that my comments have readers like you, if I did, I'd probably write less about my own stories.
It's true that I have probably ranted too much here, partly because this place feels like a haven for me, completly out of reach from the non-expat, Chinese world that I live in, but that doesn't exclude me from loving so many things about China and Beijing, which I should probably share more about.

Yeah man if I ran into that dude in the street I'd definitely pop a cap in him
I wish I could go back to the years when I had never heard anything said by Jeremy Goldkorn because there is no turning back on your opinion of China.
Just because you were stepped on the foot, really?
I received two death threats in two years in Beijing. The first time someone (I have no clue of who he is) got mad at me just because I was working for theBeijinger, and he texted me "I know where you office is and I will stab you on your way to work."
The second time I got into a verbal fight with a uber passenger whom I provided service to, because she was really rude, and two hours later her "older brother" called me and threatened to "弄死我" (have me dead).
Folks, don't be fooled by the crafty marketing tactics of第1佳. For when it comes to the circuit of establishments (with questionable sanitary practices) that tout Beijing's finest deep-fried chicken, there can only be one bona fide chicken champ that rests atop the hierarchy of grease, and that my friends is Tour De Chicken!
Yeah, Im not normally the typw of guy that likes McDs but the chicken cutlet is pretty good! A little spicy, crispy outside and juicy inside ..lol I might get one for lunch.

I think it has something to do with the fact that many people decide to call a driver while they are still inside their rather large apartment /office complexes rather than streetside. Therefore there can be a gap between where you are on the GPS at the time of the call and where you will meet your driver.
However, this doesn't explain why many drivers insist on asking you where you intend to go when that's part of what you input to begin with as well ...
I always book directly through the airline because my experience is that except for domestic US flights sold by a US company, flights are rarely cheaper via anyone else. Also, after having been burned by Ctrip and eLong more than once, at least with the airline I know that when I book a ticket there, it is confirmed. However, I will take a look at flychina.com, thank you for the suggestion.

Just what we need: another film to make people afraid of sharks, especially in the country most responsible for their wholesale slaughter. Great.
