But what if there was a humble eatery in the heart of downtown Beijing that consistently fills its nearby alley with drooling customers, and that those who go there aren't looking for an expensive Michelin-starred restaurant or something gimmicky like robot waiters, but rather a simple bowl of spicy noodles?

What if one could make a bowl of spicy noodles in one's own home. Imagine the possibilities.

They're just noodles, people.

Where you see noodles, TBJ sees lifestyle statement. If someone started a gay noodle eatery in Beijing, TBJ would just about shite itself into dehydration extolling the joint.

While it's been said, and experienced, that some baijiu doesn't suck. The whopping total of 3 beijing venues are simply making an art out of painting the turd. (All due respect to the venues for being creative.) With the exception of of one...and also can have it straight.

The Distillery actually did a great job of serving flights of baijiu and educating customers about the different varieties and base materials.

We miss David the pide piper of baijiu education. His brother? Before him...

One can also drink bleach. But...w...wh...why...???

Try retaking the passport photo. It worked for me.

It's a good idea to check the app before you go out as I'm sure you've learned but I'll mention it just in case.

Actually no. It's not exactly the same: the venues are generating their own unique Health Kit QR code, so when you scan it you're actually registering your data (which you'd previously have written by hand) automatically at the same time as showing your health status.

You can check the log of which venues you've scanned into like this by clicking the little clipboard icon on the right of the 'Scan QR Code to Register' menu item.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. The new "feature" is redundant. It does nothing more than the Query On Me function.

I appreciate your comment, but the reality is, it is splitting hairs. The scan or Query Me functions are to make sure (even though neither really do this) that a person is virus-free. As everyone knows, asymptotic persons are running around undetected, so the ability to document a persons comings and goings is kind of pointless. Not only that, but taking a person's temperature is pointless. Futhermore, ALL of the places that I've visited who have the BHK QR code displayed accepted my Query On Me results.

Left hand, meet right hand.

Maybe in a hundred years we'll have a clue as to how to handle this virus. Doubtful, but maybe.

I noticed this new version on Saturday but had problems uploading it as it asked for a certificate number.I found out later this was my passport number which would have made things easier if it was wrote passport number or even ID number.

With all of its bugs, erm, features, you should feel lucky you got it to work. Congrats.

May be going to Xianning in Hubei province next week which is a fourth tier city having only been to first tier cities previously will check to see the difference.
