Woke to a cool grey day ... or maybe brown ... very often the sky in China is brown due to pollution, desert dust or whatever other reason.  Climbed up to Solitary Beauty Peak then visited the Seven Star Park.  The Peak is one of the several outcrops in town ... it provided a good outlo…

There's really nothing to do in Tanggu except to go to Tianjin. So here is some stuff about the boat. The ride took about 27 hours which was 2 hours over schedule. But I heard that it could take up to 4 hours longer than the 25 hours posted on the Tian Ren web site. The Tian Ren is a …

14-01-08 Vanmorgen lekker uitgeslapen en net wakker toen de deurbel zo’n 10 minuten later ging. Vanuit de intercom hoorde ik iemand roepen “open!“ Ik verwachte de loodgieter dus deed ik open, maar voor zover ik weet is dat een oude chinese man die geen engels spreekt. Even later stond er een…

Shows what I knew, eh?

I spent the month of August 2008 in Beijing for an internship during the Olympics. There was not much work for my friends and me to do, so we explored the city a lot. And went to quite a few events. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

It's 08:50 oçlock in the morning meanwhile for the first time we see in a distance the Chinese wall. We are there at last. Strange thing is that while were in China the time in the train is still Irkutsk time. Strangely but true. Around 09:45 hour stop we in Zhangjiakou about 7…

The last week or so in Beijing has been great.  It hasn't been hard adjusting at all.  After a few days of rainy weather, it has become a lot more stable and either it isn't as smoggy or it isn't bothering me as much.  I am also getting the hang of campus (I got lost a lot...) and ri…

The third day of our stay we were gong to visit “The Great Wall” something that I had looked forward to since I was a little boy watching old black and white movies about the emperor of China. We had bought the tickets the day before and were going to be picked up from the hotel just before mid…
