Old Nest Cafe 老巢咖啡厅

（Having an intense discussion about China, and Chinese culture around the table. We talked about a lot of interesting topics that night. Some of which included Cantonese, and digestion problems.)

(James [the new Brit in our circle of friends who just arrived last week] and Jane to the right. That lamp shade is made from old packaging paper.)

(The 老板's pictures from the times of the Cultural Revolution proudly on display near the bar area. 老板 or "lao ban" means boss.)

(This is what you see when you first walk in, I purposely took this picture without the flash so you can get the feel of the place. Dim, quiet, and filled with books!)

(The room adjacent to the entry-way looks like this. It was very cozy!)

A week or two ago my friend Jane had told us about a "little bar" she had discovered in the art district. Because she said the "little bar" was in the art district all of my friends and I were eager to go. When we got there we discovered it wasn't a bar at all but a little nook in the wall filled with books. It is conveniently located directly across the street from the Chongqing Museum of Contemporary Art. I was hoping to meet some local artists but unfortunately we went at night and did not really have the chance. But there is always next time!
