Buying a Mobile Phone（1） 买手机
Andrea: If you’re new to China, the first thing you’ll gonna do is to activate your cell phone. Whether it’s to call your family and let them know that you’ve arrived in one piece, or to let your friends know how great Beijing nightlife is, you’ll gonna want to get back in touch. Now, if you already have a GSM phone, you can unlock it and simply buy a local SIM card, if not, let’s put some mandarin into use. Buying a phone here is pretty easy, as it is China, it’s a product that can be found absolutely everywhere.
Now today I picked a mobile phone store as it’s nearby where I work. There are all different kinds of phones. So if you see one you like, there are some common questions you can ask. Let’s go to check it out.
Snacking on Wangfujing Street 王府井小吃
(At Wangfujing Street) Stephy: Wangfujing is located in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. It’s an area increasingly considered the heart of the city because of its easy accessibility. Remember we got here by simple subway train ride on Line One. But perhaps for most foreigners, Wangfujing is best-known for its snack streets. There is a popular Chinese saying, “一样东西四条腿，只要不是桌子，就能吃！”If it has four legs and it’s not a table, you can eat it. And such is proven hoofing along this snack street. The rare occasion of gnawing away on a centipede attracts many adventurous eaters. But if consuming wiggling parts just aren’t part of your agenda, surely one of the many food stalls here will satisfy your bite. Eating here is a chance to learn some Chinese phrases to describe how food tastes as well as to order some traditional Chinese snacks.

Visiting the Beijing Bar Districts （1）逛逛酒吧街
(Dominic on a street in Beijing. It’s springtime, so weather is warm.) Dominic: Beijing is widely known for being Chinese capital of culture. But once you‘ve experienced the wealth of museums, temples and cultural sites the city has to offer, it’s necessary to relax a little. And that is precisely what we plan to do today by going to one of the city’s most popular bar districts. But before we go, I need to find a drinking partner.
Visiting the Farmyard（1）农家院之游
