local food & FUN

Five minutes away from our Jia is the Jing'an Temple. We walk past it regularly to get to our group dinners and local eateries. This past week I was fortunate to spend some time with a few of the students, which is always precious for me. Ellia and I found Subconscious Day Spa to get our nails done. It cost only $17 for a manicure! The girl spent an hour on just a regular manicure! Amazing!
Local dining includes places like:

• Beef & Liberty - where we had burgers and fries for a group dinner
• AE Kitchen - located just across the street from the alley of the Jia;  I had brunch with Pam there this past week and we enjoyed their breakfast specials. Delicious!
• Dunkin' Donuts - where I bought donuts for an illustration for one of my education lessons
• The French Pancake House - which is a hole in the wall just a few minutes from the Jia that loves Pepperdine students and serves fried rice for about $3
