Hard Rock Beijing

There is a Hard Rock Cafe in Beijing. In fact it's in our building. There's a sort of secret passageway which leads you from the apartments lobby into this most famous of ex-pat eating and drinking dens. I'd been to one just once before - the original (1971) place on Piccadilly in London, though not in 1971. Oddly enough there was one 200m from our office in Bangkok but I never went. There are apparently 149 of them in 53 countries.

Anyway, for convenience sake, this is where a couple of colleagues and I ended up this evening. It could have been anywhere: rock memorobilia plastered everywhere, videos playing Police hits, cheeseburgers pride of place on the menu, and the Philippino house band kicked off with Maggie May. But we had a good evening and downed several extremely overpriced beers. You can guess what we ate.
