Chirp - a modern horror story.

The following is a silly horror story,  it's a little far-fetched, but regardless it is a horror story, with scenes of violence, murder, threat, manipulation, and mental and sexual torture, so please don't read if you are uncomfortable with any of the above.   Chirp Chirp. Katy smiled at her phone, knowing she was addicted to the thrill of social media, even if she would never admit it. It was that addiction that had signalled the end of her previous relationship when Mark decided he had enough of her staring at the screen, with anything he said sailing over her head. She raised an eyebrow as she looked at the latest snap on her favourite app Snapchat. It wasn’t a known sender… ‘Interesting’ she thought opening the message. A buff-looking guy in a football jersey.

  The Queen is dead, long live the King!! You might be forgiven for thinking this blog is a homage to the King (I am British after all), however, it is in fact my first review of a restaurant in Zhangjiakou, namely: The King of North East Barbecue Northeast barbecue Hunan (Times Square West Branch) Hebei Province Zhangjiakou City Qiaodong District Times Square West East Gate 东北烧烤川湘菜(时代广场西区店) 河北省张家口市桥东区时代广场小区西区东门东南110米 Working hours 5pm - 3am    Location and layout   It took a while, but finally a Zhangjiakou review, and what better way to start than with The King.

  I’ll be your Croak Monsieur I’ll be your Croak Madame I find you absolutely ribbiting! Blue Frog Bar and Grill🐸   Multiple locations across China It's been far too long since I posted, so I am rectifying that with a review of a restaurant chain that I've had waiting in the wings for a while now- Blue Frog, Bar and Grill!   Location and layout   Blue Frog is a Western-style restaurant and has around 30 locations scattered across the major cities of China, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. I've visited a Blue Frog in both Beijing and Tianjin, the two I visited were both located as part of a mall, making them easily accessible and not hard to find.  In terms of layout, there is a nice distance between tables, with a prominent bar as a focal point. There was a sort of patio outside area in the Tianjin Blue Frog, which was a very pleasant experience, overall nothing to complain about here! The patio area 5 Nik Knacks Menu So? What are my options? well, a ...
