| Another 4 weeks gone – sitting at Beijing National Airport – Lufthansa will ship me home soon. I had a great time over here and will be back next year or before. Thanks to all the people who made this trip so good.

Another day in the city. I really enjoy the flat of Sonia and Schutze. They are in Shanghai so i have the whole place for myself. In the living room they have floor to roof windows – great a lot of light and a lot to see – buildings for example 
Today they put the “clean the air for olympia” plan in the capital in order – that means that on one day only cars with an even last number can drive and on the other the ones with uneven. This puts 2.000.000 cars out from the road. Lets see how the air is tomorrow. The city if full of new planted trees and still they work and work to make everything nice till august 8th. Yesterday i went to the “Birds nest” to make a few pictures – no way to get even close to it. It is fenced of and soldiers gard the whole thing. 2 bad!!! Security all over the place – today it was te 1st time that even i had to xray my camera bag before entering the subway.
I booked a flight down to Guilin at the 22nd! Like to see some green while i am over here.
The ticket need to be confirmed before so i hope that will work out.
Today i went to the Forbidden City to walk a little bit and dive slow into China. And it is still like it was when i was here last time. A lot of Chinese come and whant their picture taken with me. Never happens that much in other countries.
As you can imagine – Beijing is a major construction zone. Last minute preparations for Olympia and the usuall construction stuff. This building is quite interesting!!
SAS staff was very friendly – the flight very smooth – so far everything looks really good over here. I took a shuttle bus for 1.60€ to the world trade center and than a taxi for 1.1€ to the hotel. Try and beat that!
Now – most surprising: blue sky and from tall buildings you can even see some mountains!!
Thanks to Olympia they shut down factories as far away than 100 km and put some traffic restrictions in place
