三十岁 (San shi sui, or 30 y.o.)

Yesterday was my 30th birthday. To celebrate the occasion, we invited our friends out for a nice dinner at Ganges, my favorite local Indian restaurant.

All in all, it was an extremely memorable birthday, not only because it was my 30th, and not only because it occurred in Beijing, but also because we spent two hours at a karaoke lounge called "Lion King" singing songs in four different languages.
