My city is becoming ghost city every day, entire high street is now closed and a city centre with about 8 shops in it

Bet there's a few good rave venues going on out there.

For Indian food in Beijing, I like the Raj Pavilion on Gulouxi Dajie. Not sure if they have a buffet... There are a couple other Indian restaurants here that do have buffets.

Shish kabob: there is a decent Lebanese / Palestinian restaurant just east of Ritan Park. Also there are a number of Xinjiangese (is that a word?) restaurants in Beijing. Their food has a kind of Turkish/Arabic/Middle Eastern flavor and they have a kind of kabob. Finally you can get all kinds of grilled stuff on skewers at the Japanese restaurants here.s

I think it's pretty cool that they are building ghost cities. They must look pretty cool, all transparent and shit. The Chinese have a long history of taking care of their ghosts, they have their own cool movies and everything, so it's nice they finally have their own cities. I mean, ghosts were people too right? They have rights. Had rights. Or something.

Perhaps I should read the article.

isint though like the article hes talking about 'ghosts' as in they created entire cities for commerce but they lie dormant because the investment they where betting on never came and the housing boom they expected stalled?, and yeap they where people once, if you believe in that kinda thing.

Hey that's cool to know. Thank you!

Weird they were preparing for a population boom when state policy restricted population growth to negative.

Does nobody want to help me fill an artic with funktion-one, drive out to one of these ghost cities and take over one of these huge public buildings to rave for weeks on end?

I like the look of this place:
