Maintaining my image, part 2

So, this getting stared at thing - I'm pretty good at it. Another way I make sure the stares continue is conducting my training for a two day hike by walking up the stairs when exiting subway* stations. Most if not all stations have escalators up but not down. I find this to be hard on the...

Got an image to maintain

I'm a white ghost, a big nose. I have scary looking round blue eyes. I get stared at. But Beijingers are getting used to my strange 'condition' so I need something to keep the stares coming. I have my ski gloves dangling from strings threaded through the sleeves of my huge periwinkle down...

Rewriting history or PREwriting history???

Many of the subway stations walls are covered in revenue producing ads (at one time the station by Tian An Men Square had huge posters featuring my daughter's then boyfriend) but a few of the original stations (the subway system has about quadrupled since preparations for the '08 Olympics began...

Arrived! (Econo-luxury flight a reality)

Dream became reality! Apparently, few people want to enjoy a bitter cold Beijing winter. It's not that cold right now but the wind is strong. I had several naps across the mostly flat bed of three seats. Thank you, Air Canada! I'm mostly settled into my super cheap but pleasant enough dorm....

Tyynen valtameren rannalla Qingdaossa

Kiinalainen expressjuna toi meidät Pekingistä Qingdaohon kuudessa tunnissa. Tämä merellinen kaupunki on ihastuttanut meitä saapumisesta lähtien. Eilen syötiin Sichuanin alueen tulisia ruokia ja maistetiin paikallista Tsingtao -olutta. Tänään on oltu mahdollisimman antituristeja; hostimme...

Pikajuna Pekingiin

Matkustaja saapui Pekingiin pikajunalla kunnon vatsataudissa, tulipahan junan vessassa vietettyä monta ikimuistoista hetkeä. Viimeisen illan lammasruoka Mongoliassa oli sittenkin huono idea, koska heti sen poistuttua elimistostä kokonaisuudessaan ylä- ja alakautta ja kuumeen noustua alkoi...
