Learn – How to Read a Chinese Menu
If you’re keen to get beyond just pointing at the photos in a Chinese menu – or perhaps want to get past your fear of reading a menu without any photos or English for help – then mark your calendars for this Wednesday night (Jan 8). From 6-6.50pm, the Culture Yard, via a free Zoom class, will be teaching participants the common characters on a Chinese menu, how they’re organized, and, most importantly, how to order your next meal with ease.

Listen – Spiritual Jazz, Ill Considered at Blue Note
British jazz band Ill Considered is bringing their signature mashup of jazz, afrobeats, soul, funk, and more to Blue Note Beijing this Saturday night (Jan 10).
