Thanks to the person who sent me the updated link to the Qatar Animal Welfare Society, my friend and his family stopped by on the weekend and adopted a nice german shepard cross. Your post to this blog found a dog a new home!
As for Beijing, I figured my next posts would be a simple "odds that..." format to give you a slice of life in Beijing.
Odds That In Beijing a girl coming up to you to practice English is really only interested in practising English . . . 50% (2 of 4)
Two girls I met at Tienanmen were genuinely wanting to practice English. One was really good, the other's English was pretty poor. The other girls, which I met on the shopping street and in a high-end mall, we more interested in getting me to "have coffee" at some teahouse somewhere down some alleyway. I declined and was later informed by my friend in Beijing that if you accept such offers there's a hefty bill waiting for you at the teahouse, as well as some muscle to make sure you pay it.

Luck of the Northern Irish?
Maybe, but I'm just telling it as I experienced it. :)
