The Orchard, Beijing, China

There are some times where living abroad can be more difficult than others, and birthdays can be one of those times.  Luckily I have some amazing co-workers and friends that celebrated with me.  We had a great time on my actual birthday after work to kick off the Golden Week.  There was also a brunch gathering at The Orchard a few days after my birthday.  The food, clown, balloons, and fun happen here every Sunday, but it felt extra special to me being so close to my birthday.  Maybe it was the unlimited wine and champagne that made it feel like a real party!

The Chinese clown bearing balloons was a surprise!
