2017-11-21 Tom A. theBeijinger

The heating is just about on in Beijing which means that our American brethren are warming up for their first dose of turkey, cranberry sauce, and a splash of wine this holiday season. Even if you're not of the US persuasion, however, there's plenty to enjoy – if anything, see it as just a belly-stretcher for Christmas next month.
