Before the year ends in less than a day's time, here's a moment in 2008 that i would like to remember.
Early October, Paul Tan from the AWE50ME network invited me to attend the PSFK Conference Asian 2008. To my surprise, he presented A Little Beijing during the Creator Class Panel after lunch. =)
It's so great to finally see the guys (Paul & Brian Tiong) behind the Awesome network, they have been really supportive! So were the people at PSFK!! I met Jeff Squire very briefly over a hand shake during tea time and a month later, i received an email from him. The team at PSFK were putting together a Good Ideas in 2009 report and they wanted to include my niche travel guide in it. Yay!
I'm truly grateful to all those who had believed in this project.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Looking forward to 2009.

介绍 INTRODUCTION
有别于市场上常见的旅游指南，《一点北京》这份刊物将带随旅者前往一次别开生面的旅程。为了促使更轻便的游走，为了留下更深刻的回忆，《一点北京》的设计脱离了一般沉重指南的形式（版式／格式），并且给予旅者更具灵活性的发挥空间。
附加彩色路线的北京地图和行程表清楚描绘了七天的旅程。明信片以最简短的文字，鲜明的照片和详细的地址让人一目了然。一天的行程，最多只需携带十张明信片。每去一个地方，就在背面做笔记后寄回给自己。回国后，将一一收回贴上当地邮票和盖上邮戳的旅程记录。当然，旅者也可以潇洒地任凭挑选一张明信片，想去哪儿就去哪儿。
Unlike the usual travel guides, “A Little Beijing” introduces a whole new way of travelling – simply by being spontaneous.
Based on a route less travelled, it is a seven-day tour to quaint places off the beaten track. The design of this publication stirs clear away from the conventional format of perfect-bound guides, and in the result of doing so, enables free and easy travel as well as journey documentation.

The colourful routes on the Beijing map and the itinerary distinctively differentiates the daily tour. Photographs, maps and descriptions are put together to make 60 postcards. With “A Little Beijing”, travellers no longer need to fuss over heavy guides. They are only required to carry approximately 10 pieces of postcards per day. Upon visiting a place, they are free to inscribe or scribble their thoughts and feelings (and even new finds) at the back of the postcards, then mail them back home. Eventually, they will receive the full documentation of their adventure in the post – with stamps of authenticity. Of course, for those who are more adventurous, simply pick a card and start on a random note!
