Ohh, I lived in Qingdao a couple of years ago! It must be getting so nice now, with it being summer and the sea being just right there. Have you been to Le Bang? And Hunter Bar, the kind of dive lesbian bar round the corner from Freeman Cafe? That was the only one I ever found, in fact – are there more?
