A view from the Longevity hill to the Kunming lake.

En utsikt fra "fjellet for lang levetid" mot Kunming innsjø, begge i det
berømte sommerpalasset.

Marbelous boat

This marble boat may have caused the demise of chinese dynasties, as money
spent on it's construction were originally earmarked to establish a modern
Chinese navy.

Denne marmorbåten kan ha vært med på å ødelegge for ett kinesisk dynasti,
for pengene som ble brukt var egentlig øremerket for å lage en moderne
kinesisk marine.

Yunan hotpot

Recommended for Beijing's maybe best Hot pot, but be ready for queuing up!

Kanskje Beijings beste hot pot sted, men vær forberedt på å vente i lang kø.

Excellent service, excellent taste

- and not the least excellent company of newly wedded Huang and Shawn, that
were with us in the summer palace first.

Super service, smak og ikke minst selskap. Nygifte Huang&Shawn er med på
middagen etter en lang tur rundt sommerpalasset.

The secret lies in the dips

Colorful sensations for the taste buds.

Dippen(e) er hemmeligheten for en god "hot pot".

Blossom in ChaoYang park

Spring is delayed this year, and no wonder as night teperatures still can get sub-zero. Anyway, in downtown ChaoYang park, the flowers are opening.

Våren er forsinket i år, og det kan jeg godt forstå med natte-temperaturer ned til under null. Uansett, i sentrumsnære Chaoyang park så blomstrer det.

Hot spring - Cold beer

What could be better than a cool microbrewery beer after several dips in a
hot spring resort?

Hva kunne være bedre enn en kald øl brygget av stedets eget mikrobryggeri,
etter flere dypp i varme kilder?

Value for money in the food chain

So where am I in the "food chain", pretty high, but not quite rich enough to
go to good restaurants too often. IKEA though, is a good place for some
"value for money" western decent food. This day I went both for lunch and
for dinner (and XiaoMei has to put up with me)

Så hvor er jeg i "næringskjeden", ganske høyt, men ikke helt så høyt at jeg
kan gå på gode restauranter til stadighet. IKEA imidlertid, er ett godt
"valuta for pengene" vestlig anstendig alternativ. Denne dagen var jeg både
for lunch og middag (og Veslemøy må holde ut med meg).

Live at IKEA, Beijing!

Great live music at IKEA! I thought I was heading for a dull "semi-lonesome"
dinner, but was absolutely delighted by an excellent free concert by a cover
band.

Flott levende musikk på IKEA! Jeg trodde jeg skulle på en litt trist
"semi-alene" middag, men var positivt overrasket av en utmerket
gratiskonsert med ett coverband.
