Last night I attended a Columbia Beijing Alumni Event at Trends Lounge in Beijing! It was great evening to connecting with students past and present. To all the rising freshmen - congratulations!!
The photo here is of myself and two friends, Buyu and Xiaojing, from Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. They are also interning in Beijing this summer. This photo was taken under a mall and entertainment complex called “The Place” which is home to the Asia’s largest outdoor television screen. It is used to play music videos, show graphics such as swimming fish, and also rotates to text messages sent from patrons below. I believe this screen uses the same technology as the screens inside the Birds Nest Olympic Building. I highly recommend that everyone visit during the evening, order a drink at one of the cafe's below the screen, enjoy the conversation of some good friends, and watch the magic of this screen descend upon the people and children playing below. It's magical!
