- Use RMB to book flights to Europe
  
  Hi,
  I'm just wondering does anyone know anywhere in Chengdu where I can use RMB to pay for a flight to Europe? Need to book a flight for August and would prefer not to spend my euro's.
  If anyone has any thoughts/advice on the matter it would be much appreciated!
  Thanks very much,
  Emmet

- 成都绿色畅饮回来了！Green Drinks Chengdu Is Back!
  
  We Are Back!
  Time: Tuesday May 28, 2013 @7-9pm
  Location: ViaVia Travelers' Cafe @ Raffles City
  Speaker: Roi Ariel
  Topic: Eco-tourism in Madagascar, Laos, and China
  By: Green Drinks Chengdu :)
  请安排好时间,参加我们5月28日,星期二晚上7—9点的活动！
  这次活动将于人民南路来福士广场的微爱西餐厅举行。
  Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 28, 7-9PM, at ViaVia Travelers' Cafe along South Renmin Road.
  本月,我们很高兴邀请到电台节目主持人Roi Ariel介绍他的生态旅游经历！以下是他的自我介绍：
  This month, Green Drinks Chengdu is delighted to host radio host and eco-tourist Roi Ariel, the following is a blurb from the speaker himself:
  Roi Ariel将分享他在老挝与马达加斯加的生态旅游经历,以及自己对中国发展生态旅游的愿景。
  Roi的工作涉及过外交以及宗教之间的关系,他曾主持有关这类课题的电台节目,并访问过20几个国家。
  虽然Roi能说4种语言,但还需要大家教他一些四川话！
  Roi Ariel will share his eco-tourism experience in the poor yet exotic countries of Laos and Madagascar, as well as his vision for Eco-Tourism in China.
  Roi's background is inter-religion and diplomacy, he's hosted radio shows on these topics, and traveled in over two dozens countries.
  He speaks four languages, but still needs your help to catch up some Sichuan slang.
  另外,因为时间上的冲突,我们将这次活动转移至来福士广场3楼3003号的微爱西餐厅。来福士广场本身位于人民南路与一环路的交界处,而微爱餐厅则在三楼户外池子的旁边。
  当然,我们还是要感谢老书虫长期支持成都绿色畅饮,并希望我们与微爱西餐厅的合作也是一样的顺利。
  Also, because of scheduling difficulties, we are moving this month's event to ViaVia Travelers' Cafe at #3-3003, Raffles City, on the intersection between South Renmin Road and the 1st Ring Road. It's right in the furthest corner, next to the pond.
  We would still like to thank the Bookworm for its longstanding support of Chengdu Green Drinks, and hope that this collaboration with VIaVia will be just as fruitful.

- Free to a Good Home...
  
  Hi everyone!
  About six months ago, my wonderful lady and I rescued a large dog that had been tied up outside and left to die. In the time that he has been with us, he has been trained, well fed, vaccinated, fixed, properly cared for and loved. Unfortunately, the end of our stay in Chengdu is within sight, and we need to find a new home for this awesome guy.
  We suspect that he is a Tibetan Mastiff. Immediately, I know that because of his breed's reputation, finding a new home for this guy will be difficult, if not impossible. We love him to death, but I really can't take him with us, so I'm reaching out for help to find him a loving home.
  Here's a little bit more about him: His name is Rumpus, aka "The Doodle." He's a little over one year old, fully grown with a long rusty red topcoat and grey undercoat. He's about one meter tall and weighs around 40kg. He's very independent and quite a bit affectionate without being needy. He's very strong and healthy and needs to be walked every day.
  My lady and I are leaving Chengdu next year in the summer, and we are going to be heart-broken to let him go. I insist on finding the right home for him and helping any potential owner in making the transition. The right owner would be someone who:
  - Loves dogs
  - Has experience with dogs
  - Is not lazy
  - Is responsible
  - Has a house or apartment with a decent amount of space
  If you are interested, please contact me and we'll talk more about it. If you know anyone who would be interested, please pass this along to him. This wonderful guy needs a wonderful home.
  Thanks!

- Sunday June 2nd - Tailor Made Chengdu
  
  After the success of the last two events, Carol & Lucs Tailors from Beijing will be back in Chengdu for the third time! They have a great reputation in Beijing and now a growing reputation amongst the expat community in Chengdu!
  At the last event around 40 people ordered a total of 35 suits and 60 shirts. The feedback was great again and many customers commented on the tailoring team's professionalism and expertise.
  On June 2nd we'll be at the Somerset Riverview Chengdu (Right where Renmin Nan Lu meets the river) where the tailors will have a wide range of fabrics and sample/design books for you to choose from.
  You can discuss your individual requirements and make your selections, with suits starting from 1200 yuan and shirts from 150 yuan.After the last event it took about 15 days for all the finished clothing to be delivered to Chengdu, I then delivered everyone's orders individually.So you can expect fast turn-around and good quality!
  The tailors do a really great job of taking super-detailed measurements, so the finished clothing should fit perfectly, but if not I'll help you send it back to her to be adjusted for free. Last time from 35 suits, 5 people had some small changes to make.
  Huge interest in this event, so we're expecting another large turnout, so if you are interested drop me a message or call/text me on 13880577514.
