after spending the first night with Elaine, i took a taxi to where my parents are staying in Wangjangsan area. as it turns out, it's essentially like LA's Koreatown - except in Beijing. the businesses are run and/or staffed by Koreans, the products are Korean, the services are for Koreans, even the prices are Korean (meaning high by Chinese standards).
my parents are staying in a nice two-bedroom apartment leased by their home church in Seattle. this apartment is available to individuals/couples who want to spend time in Beijing to worship, study, evangelize, whatever. my parents are spending a month here meeting with local church leaders, taking seminars, going on walks and getting every-other-day massages.so far, i've had a full body massage and a foot massage. lovely.
