Classified of the Week: Cruise Through the City

Beijing's diversity and Internet anonymity make for strange bedfellows. Nowhere is this more true than in our website's Classified Ads section. We've seen it all – and then some. And that doesn't even cover the ads we must disapprove because they just aren't fit for a good, clean, wholesome website like ours.

Remember those old Audrey Hepburn movies like Roman Holiday where the male and female heroine buzz about town with the Colosseum in view? Just because you're not in Roma doesn't mean you can't live out your movie fantasies. Do as the Romans do and get your own Vespa today, or at least a green apple electric bike. You can ride off into the Beijing fog, or dare I say smog, with Tian'anmen Square in view. It sure beats being stuck in traffic with your driver shouting swear words at the car blocking your way.
