Today was a leisurely Sunday that began with sleeping in until Hamer asked for help reading her textbook. Initially, I suggested she practice independently, which led her to seek Grandma’s assistance before proudly returning to demonstrate her progress.
My coffee experiment failed due to using espresso beans and too-fine grounds for pour-over brewing. At noon, we visited the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum for “The Origin of Civilization” exhibition, where LEGO recreations of archaeological sites and a bronze figure installation particularly impressed me.
After lunch at Sunrise Ramen in its new Wangjing location, we explored 798 Art District. At Berry Bean café, Hamer bonded with a dog named Huahua while I admired specialty bikes. The day concluded at Tiaohai Bar, where we unexpectedly stayed for a dance concert featuring memorable performances by SkyChildren, NoGender, and a duet by Quqi and Erhan.
