I went to Wangfujing today to find some deals and wandered into Artistic Mansion, my new favourite shopping destination.
After wandering the discount section at the sixth floor, I managed to score a pair of Asics runners for 349RMB (US$48).
Back outside, as I walked along the boulevard, I was surprised to see many encapsulated cafes. They all seemed to offer hot and cold drinks in a small enclosed space, obviously to give people a little respite from the cold air.
These portable cafes aren't just tents -- they're made with glass, metal and powered with electricity.
Some are square, others rectangular. This one is tunnel-shaped and has lots of windows to allow customers to continue their favourite past time of people watching as they sip their drinks.

good idea for these instant kiosks. wonder how they get the electricity and plumbing or permit from city hall. this is particularly efficient during the olympics with a sudden influx of tourists. aside from being cafes what other business are they used?
