Graffiti and getting in cars with strangers...

Do Not Erase.
Brightly colored posters announced the opening of the new exhibit at G-Dot Art Space, a gallery somewhere in Beijing (the location of which I have been and continue to remain ignorant of and unconcerned with.) Visitors consisted of fellow Americans, Beijing's stylish, and other artists, both local and travelling.

The day, completely unplanned, set the tone for the remainder of my time in Beijing.

Canvases hung in the air conditioning while six artists worked on a collaborative mural outside. Colors, textures, and styles unique, each artist's personality merged through work and word, alike.
A small startup based out of Hong Kong, Small Sake, offered free drinks. I hope these guys make it (stateside would be even better); they're passionate about their brand and their product.
As for getting in cars with strangers, don't, unless you realize that sometimes you need to just hop in and see where you end up.
