When we took away anti-social sundays earlier this year, we were really bummed out and sad. Reality is it took a few stinky fish to ruin it for everyone. We thought hard, we worked out a few new quirks and here it is back... on mondays!


two years ago, we launched social hour, then followed with social sundays.. firsts for Beijing. Our mission was to make people be social, interact and share. We thought they didn't do enough of that and maybe..just maybe we were wrong. 


What an amazing world we live in! A world of sharing, instant gratification and being able to get anything and everything online, especially with WeChat in China. 


Let's face it, this is the social media era with even grandmas playing mahjong on their smartphones. Anywhere you go, anyone you see anywhere, have their phones in their hands. We spend 4/5 of our lives on these little devices more or less. 


Everything is connected with it, socializing with close friends, Ok friends, strangers, everybody, using WeChat pay, AliPay paying, LOL gaming, watching stuff on Douyin and video streaming websites, listening to music on Netease, checking emails every morning and every afternoon and every evening, working, relaxing, everything...


It's so easy to get lost in this infinite ocean of information, infinite knowledge at your fingertips. It's progress.. it's Social... it's Social media! 


But have a look around:


Date night: Couples on phones, instagramming food and sharing selfies. 


Friends Night: people on phones, enjoying pictures and descriptions of what others are doing in different bars, restaurants, cities and even countries. 


Music Night: we're watching the performance of a band/musicians through our 5" gorilla glass OLED instead of the perfectly workable eyes nature granted us. 


Society is about sharing, this world is about communication and being all social media centric. and we don't mind! Heck, we're as addicted as everyone else. 


In recent conversations however, we're forced to realize that we approached this wrong. People on their digital devices are being social, sometimes very social... So by asking them to stop using their phones, we're effectively asking them to be anti-social.. isn't that funny? 


So, here it comes.. from henceforth, we're happy to host "Anti-Social Monday" at Caravan. 


- Do not type/talk to your WeChat and other Social-Media friends. Ignore them. 


- Do not Share pictures in your foodie groups and show others all the cold dishes you're eating. Be selfish and enjoy the food


- Do post videos of the music on your moments. Keep it all to your ears and the ears of those around you. 


Ignore, be selfish and do not share.. that's the spirit of Anti-Social Mondays!


Turn in your devices to the bar and enjoy 50% off your food bill at Caravan.


All half-priced food, quickly, put down your phone and get yourself on Monday to Caravan!
