Now, I don't like Sanlitun at the best of times. And I especially don't like its dismal selection of so-called "sports bars".
However, at the moment, and for some time to come, I feel obliged to avoid these shitholes altogether - because the bloody Rugby World Cup is upon us once again. It nearly ruined my birthday 4 years ago, and it threatens to do so again.
My disdain, disgust, utter abhorrence of the game can scarcely be expressed in words (other than a snorting pssshaw!). I loathe it, loathe it, loathe it.
I do not wish to see even a single second of the televised action, I do not wish to hear a single result, I do not wish to overhear any discussions about the prospects of the participants... I do not even want to be exposed to the company of anyone who gives a damn about any of this shit.
Therefore, I must abjure nights out in Sanlitun - and avoid most of my male drinking buddies - until some time in late October.
Perhaps this is, after all, a good time to give up drinking for a while....
