on sunday we had a little walk thru the city.. for sure: the tian anmen square, mao hall, forbidden city and all these tourist stuff.. and it's tru: on the tian anmen square chinese people just start talking to you.. and they take pictures of you.. like you are the tourist-attraction..
and even on sundays they are like all the other asians we have seen: shopping is the most important way of spending free time!
after that we had a nice dinner with liù again.. she told us she will bring a friend.. she was introduced as pauline.. pauline? are you the 'pauline' we try to contact for the last days via e-mail because of an advise of somebody from our network in berlin? YES!
it is so funny: the only two persons we had contacted separately before our trip without knowing them are actually roommates! so we had a funny night.. talking about their music-projects (both dj) and paulines upcoming video-art-festival: borderline
after this funny and interesting night we drove home to our stunning place to stay: the china club beijing
One of the most exclusive private members clubs in China, Beijing's China Club has eight private suites that can be made available to Imperial Tours' guests. Since the China Club is housed in a 400 year-old, courtyard-style palace, guests can enjoy the unique thrill of inhabiting traditional palace rooms furnished with Chinese antiques. Be advised however that some of the customary amenities of a five star hotel are not available in these surroundings; a sports center, full service business center and the like are not to be found here. Similarly steaming hot water does not flow immediately from the hot water tap - these are the drawbacks.
this is a dream: video!
thanks to jürgen strafe and the adidas-division of china who are corporate-members and made us living at this fantastic venue!
on monday we started our trip to seoul/korea.. we got a little bit late at the airport.. but we managed to get our flight after making a little trouble with the security at the check in ;-)
stay tuned for a review of our days here in korea..
