Access to pictures of various things going on in my life.

 

I went to the Temple of Heaven on Saturday. It was realy nice, the air quality was a lot better then on Friday. Lots of people spending their day in the park. Playing music, singing, and wandering around.
On Sunday I went to hike on the Great Wall. From Jinshaling to Simatai. It was very strange to realize that I'm walking on this ancient wall, that I heard about as a kid. It was a 10km hike, and parts of the wall were in such bad shape, that it was almost more like climbing then walking. It was supposed to take 4 hours, but I did it in 2 1/2. At the beginning I went extra fast, to get away from the 'guides' and people selling stuff. It was nice to be outside of the city and be hiking.

On Monday I traveled to the place where I'm now. About 1 hour north of Beijing, in a resort like compound where we are having our meetings. The meeting rooms are very modern and hi-tech (i'm blogging from the high speed connection in the meeting rooms), the bed rooms however are very rundown. My batroom has this old bathtub, with gold knobs etc, but the shower head is leaky and falling apart. I'm teaching 60 people, most of them only understand a tiny bit of English, so it is quite a challenge.

Friday I will be flying to Yunan province to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge
