sign at the printing shop where i have my drawings blue printed.












if dubya ever decides to bomb beijing (shock and awe - baghdad style) back to the stone age in any future conflict a number of beijingers would be sitting it out quite comfortably.

i've heard of beijing's underground city but i cant find the entrance, hopefully the address i got from this time mag article can help me pinpoint it.
















Getting There
The Underground City entrance is on Xidamochang Jie. Proceed east on the first alley south of Qianmen about 400 meters and you should see the sign, in English and Chinese, in the south (right) side of the road. Cameras are allowed, and it's a good idea to bringing a flashlight to peer down unlit corridors.
