Am pleased to report that our little gathering for 10 was a lovely time indeed. Nobody got lost trying to find the restaurant, and we had some good eats including Beijing duck, and great conversation among an incredibly interesting and diverse group. New friends were made thanks to the magic of FlyerTalk.

We missed some Beijing FT'ers who happened to be out of town, such as thezippy and moondog, but I'm sure we'll come up with another gathering in the future. Stay tuned....and also follow the thread in Community Buzz for the planned November meet-up down in Shanghai, should you expect to be in that neck of the woods.
