Central Perk opens in BeijingA fan of the American TV Sitcom 'Friends' has opened the iconic 'Central Perk' Cafe in Beijing in China. The man who opened the Cafe unfortunately isn't called Gunther however he is called Du Xin and he is a 'Friends' super fan. After watching the show, he started searching around Beijing for a place where he could actually sit on an orange couch just like the one his favorite heroes relaxed on in the sitcom. When he couldn't find one in Beijing, he decided to open his own Central Perk. In order to nail all the things he wanted, Du studied thousands of photos of the show’s set and watched endless reruns. Five months later and he had the Cafe of his dreams.
