September 02 够北京么您？这话就挺北京的。怎么想起这么句话了？那是因为昨儿个刚加入Facebook的大家庭，也算还没被这个时代落得太远，虽然到底还是落后吧。Facebook是这样一个网络社区，通过真实的姓名和身份，以各种各样的方式在世界范围内选择自己的朋友圈，比如你们都是在一个地儿工作的、都喜欢看电影的、都支持AC米兰的、都讨厌布什的、来自大陆生活在香港的、来自香港生活在大陆的........各种各样名目下的圈子。可以留言、共享照片、“顺藤摸瓜”（比如发现自己的朋友的朋友原来和自己是校友/同事/...，就可以请求建立联系）、分享自己踏遍世界的足迹..... 而我从朋友的页面就发现这么一个叫"Bei-JINGR"的圈子，翻译过来就是"北京人"，是一个属于“旅行”的圈子。我以前一直想不出一个描述北京人/喜爱北京的人的描述，想来想去要么是太不适合从其他省市/国家来的人们，要么是太不北京人。这回在这个Bei-JINGR圈子介绍中，我找到了答案。我觉得要给这段介绍加个标题，第一反映就是“够北京么您？”：
Global group for anyone who has done ANY or ALL of the following:
You've (not) gotten sick eating Yangrou Chuanr- tasty street meat so cheap you can't afford NOT to eat it.
You've drunk beer from a plastic bag. With or without the straw.
You've munched on scorpion on a stick.
You've known the torment of a Language Pledge.
You've drunk a bottle of Er Guo Tou in the middle of the day, and NOT thrown up.
You know the difference between 1. Propaganda, and 2. propaganda.
You've received a death threat from a Chinese gangster.
You've climbed the Great Wall.
a. more than once. b. more than five times. c. so many times the vendors don't even bother yelling at you to buy Great Wall T-Shirts or fluffy hats anymore, or to ride their camel. You've gotten your censored news from the legendary Tom Santoro.
You've had to chase away those guys that stick business cards of prostitutes in the doors of every apartment.
You've danced on the speakers at Vic's.
You have taken a piss, received a back rub, and ashed your cigarette on the ash tray conveniently placed on top of the urinal -- all at the same time.
You've had your bicycle stolen. Twice. And you bought back the same bike both times from the same bike shop. Hm...
You've defended one of those little girls that sell flowers on the streets at night from a pack of drunken foreigners.
You've hooked up with (at least) one of your conversation partners.
You've noticed that the beggars in Wudaokou all carry around the same begging bowl, and actually live in the same apartment compound as you.
You've had to pay your full semester's rent in a very thick wad of $12.50 bills because the Bank of China doesn't print currency in higher amounts.
You've been in a cab that hopped the curb, drove up on the sidewalk, and ran a cyclist off the sidewalk just to avoid waiting at a red light.
You add "R"s to the end of words indiscriminately and do not move your jaw when you speak.
You've seen the guy at the BLCU gym who works out without his shirt on.
You have tried with great difficulty to explain to your friends about how awesome chocolate waffle fishes are.
You've drunk any of the following epic concoctions:
a. Green Tea and Whiskey b. Green Grape Juice and Vodka c. Qoo and Korean Soju (when you were in Wudaokou) d. Sprite and Red Wine (when you were tricked into karaoke with old ladies). You get nostalgic about some version of Sanlitunr that doesn't exist anymore.
You’ve bargained with an old Chinese lady at Xiushui or Hongqiao:
a. while the foreigner next to you bargained in English and ended up buying the same item for five times the price. b. until the lady told you, "You make me want to kill myself." And you responded NO, she makes YOU want to kill YOURSELF. This continued back and forth until you reached the standard 1/5 original price, at which point you both laughed, completed the exchange, and she waved and invited you to come back soon. And you did the same thing at the next six stalls. c. until she bought YOUR fake North Face jacket. You’ve managed to actually find Li Qun Duck House.
You've started watching entire seasons of shows you never liked, because you now own them on DVD.
Upon leaving China, you persist in bargaining at inappropriate places in your home country (Train station, haircut, Chipotle Mexican Grill).
You think ass-less pants are cute.
怎么样，够北京么您？
北京er@HK （二）
这回咱们继续说吃。要说吃，这还真得感谢我老板，一有机会吃饭，那准带我去不同的地方。
Cipriani Hong Kong
一听这名字可能就知道是意大利餐厅。没错，这是家私人会所，由意大利人Giuseppe Cipriani创办，一直延续到现在由他的孙子来经营。1931年Giuseppe Cipriani在威尼斯创办了Harry's Bar，70多年来成为世界上最著名的餐厅之一，成为许多名人经常光顾的地方，从Cipriani的网站可以看到，海明威和英国女皇伊丽莎白二世都是Cipriani/Harry's Bar的常客。Cipriani Hong Kong是Cipriani集团下的餐厅之一，还有两家同样名字的餐厅分别为Cipriani London和Cipriani Porto Cervo。香港的这家餐厅，是由香港商人和社交家David Tang开办的，这家餐厅就是原先的“中国会”（China Club）。David Tang掌握向内地出口古巴雪茄的代理权，“上海滩”高端成衣连锁店的创办人，同时是香港报纸《苹果日报》的专栏作家以及“中国会”的拥有者。我去吃饭的时候，正好碰到David Tang，他一个人坐在一张靠窗口的桌子旁，就不断有女生过去跟他打招呼，仿佛就像电影《美丽心灵(A Beautiful Mind)》里纳什教授出现在普林斯顿大学的咖啡厅里然后所有的人都过来向他致意的情景。此外，还见到了Simon Murray，李嘉诚和记黄埔集团的前二把手，是李嘉诚在西方立业的得力干将。Simon Murray曾经是法国雇佣军，后来他把自己的这段经历写成了书，这本书后来被搬上银幕。 
地址：中环银行街(原获多利街)旧中国银行大厦12层
