Watching State of Origin III in Beijing

[Isochronous]

Does anyone know how this can be done? Either online or at a physical venue?

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Will be on live at The Den guarantee 100%.

Here is address in Chinese - print it out and show taxi driver or get concierge at your hotel to give driver directions.

Expat bar?

 

[Simo]

I hope that QLD wins...

Not sure who you go for.

An expat bar will have the game and if all else fails there will be a web site streaming it.

When I was in MNL we watch the opening game of the NRL season on streaming but the connection died a minute before the end as we got the Microsoft blue screen of death.

They found out the final score for us...

The game went to extra time which was a bugger that we missed it.

Expat bar?

Yes The Den is most popular expat bar in Beijing - there will be dozens of Oarstrayuns watching it live - they play AFL / NRL matches live every weekend - they have 5 large TVs in bar - will choose whatrever you want to watch.

SoO3 is on Jul 4 right at 8pm EST = 6pm in Beijing. The Den will be quiet for regular traffic at that time - mostly guys like yourself wanting to watch it live.

And at 6pm happy hour starts - 1/2 price beer and pizza till 10 I think - go for the Chicken Calypso Pizza and the 1/2 price beer is local drop draught Quingdao - quite drinkable - served in pint glass - go for it.

Lisa is head waitress - Catherine and Isabella my 2 favourites there - grab one of them and tell them you are a friend of Billy from Australia - they will look after you.

Moving to BJ? Or just more upcoming visits?

If you going to spend considerable time in Beijing or China in general and have smart phone then an App called China Taxi Book is a must.

You can download a free version - I have purchased the full versions for Beijing and Shanghai - that is where I got that taxi card from.

If you only want Beijing maybe Beijing Tazxi Guide might be better for you - either way for 8 to 16 bux they are a god send.

Probably there for the best part of the next 6-12 months. How does this Taxi Book app work - do you type in the address in English or pinyin and it spits it out in characters?

Download the free version and play with it - so easy - for example:

See so easy - remember you will need to buy Chinese SIM - you must buy China Unicom for 3G to be compatible with foreign phones - China Telecom and China Mobile no good for you if you take your phone with you.

Will look forward to meeting you in The Den sometime.
