After all the preparation, Halloween week is finally here. If you celebrated this past weekend, we hope you enjoyed yourselves. If your trick-or-treating is yet to take place, be sure to stay safe and warm. It wouldn’t hurt to cross your fingers for some non-polluted air too. Happy Halloween!

Battle of the Bands
Last Saturday saw a Battle of the Bands style contest hosted by Burger King in Pinnacle Plaza. We think it’s a great way to encourage the teenagers in our neighborhood by providing them with opportunities to perform outside the school. Feel free to send us your photos of the event by emailing them to danamercado@beijing-kids.com.
We’d like to hear from you! What are your Shunyi favorites? Any recommendations or bits of news you’d like to see here on Shunyi Happenings, please feel free to send it on to us via email to: danamercado@beijing-kids.com
