Restaurants here virtually on every corner: Subway, KFC, McDonald's, DQ, Pizza Hut, and Starbucks. Some menu item differences, but they are a plenty!
Mostly always Coke here... hard to find any other cola.
No tipping here.
A man we met from NY said when he first came to Beijing in 1985, there were virtually no cars and few skyscrapers. He said it has changed more than any other city he'd seen.
Elevators/buildings do not have a 4th floor (or 13 or 14). 4 is considered an unlucky number. So,the 4th floor is listed as 5A, and the fifth is 5B. The 13th is either 15A or 12B; the 14th is 15B, and the 15th is then 16A, etc. You can pay extra if you don't want any unlucky numbers in your phone number or license plate.
