Go to work drunk in SanlitunPosted by Joel Martinsen, May 27, 2009 2:09 PM
Property developer Shimao Group is promoting Gongsan Plaza, a new development between Workers' Stadium and Sanlitun, with a series of busy, eye-catching ads. One of the ads, which ran in The Beijing News, plays on Sanlitun's identity as one of Beijing's night-time hot spots:  From hung-over to a meeting in just seconds The whole campaign plays up the development's central location, telling harried white-collars that working long hours doesn't mean they can't enjoy a healthy nightlife. The property embraces another aspect of its location: a visit to the development homepage opens with its name, 工三 (short for 工体 and 三里屯) scrawled in bright red lipstick. |

Comments on Go to work drunk in Sanlitun
I love this ad! Thanks for putting it on here.
Typo alert though: 三里屯 not 三立屯
[Thanks. --JM]
the second before, I was busy drinking
the second after, I'll be in a meeting
hmmm, how about:
a moment prior, busy drinking
a moment hence, in a meeting
Nice. Although it would mainly appeal to foreign clubbers. Chinese executives are in a meeting+busy drinking, so the offer carries little appeal.
I'm under the impression that 宿醉 means "hangover" -- does anybody use it this way in colloquial Chinese? Or does it just mean "drunk"? It would be useful to know as I'm hungover a lot.
right...
a moment earlier, busy drinking
a moment now, in a meeting
a slight moment later, drunken brawl with manager
two weeks later, WTF WAS I THINKING?
two years later, chasing the dragon,
four years later, can I blow you for ****?
four years plus 2 seconds later, damn that waz quick.
It does mean hangover: link
