Getting water at the well

We are visiting the ”HuPao” well, which the locals travel far to stock up on because it is not only clean water/free, but even better than it due to minerals in it (XiaoMei however refuses to drink it!).

Vi besøker “TigerSprang” kilden, som lokale reiser langt for å fylle opp sine dunker, ikke bare fordi det er rent og gratis, men også fordi det inneholder naturlige mineraler (Veslemøy imidlertid nekter å drikke det!).

"Black sheep" amongst red fish?

Although not a part of the well (Iuckily), the surroundings were nice.

Noen som ser den “stygge ulven”? Fine omgivelser rundt brønnen.

A real fake Sphnix

Passing a seaworthy object, extend an arm, make a grin, priceless?

Passerer en ekte falsk Sphnix, strekk ut armen, skjær en grimace, foreviget.

Alibaba event

Last weekend we went to an Alibaba (http://china.alibaba.com/) trade (/sourcing) fair. In there we found a nice toy store. Products had many brandings/ sources…!

Forrige helg dro vi til ett Alibaba handel og sourcing event. Der fant vi bl.a. en fin lekebutikk. Produktet hadde mange merker/ referanser (bl.a. svensk butikknavn på esken!)

Sourcing#1 - Spy sunglasses

Among several alternatives of what I should do in the time to come, one alternative I am considering is to open a gadget webshop. How about sunglasses with an invisible camera and mp3 player, a businesscard size mp3 player/usb stick, or completely waterproof strap on mp3 player+headset.

En ide som jeg utreder er muligheten for å åpne en gadget nettbutikk med direkte salg fra Kina til Norge. Så kan man ikke se gjennom klær med disse solbrillene, men man kan iallfall ta bilder av alt med det usynlige kameraet, og høre på MP3 mens man først er i gang.

TomYang at BananaLeaf

Sun is still on, and TomYang curry soup makes it even hotter. Ningbo BananaLeaf is a pleasurable experience, even inexpensive.

Solen steker fortsatt, og en TomYang karri suppe gjør det enda varmere. Ningbo BanaLeaf er et behagelig sted, sogar rimelig.

Swimming in the compound

After returning from Norway, it was unbearably hot the first week. Normally I would go swimming at a gym with an outdoor pool for free (with membership), however season ended early and I tried out the local swimming pool in my compound. As expected quite a small and even dirty affair, what’s worse, during 6 weeks in Norway I even put on some 3 kg “love handles”.

Etter returen fra Norge var det uutholdelig varmt den første uken. Om sommern går jeg stort sett til ett utendørs svømmebasseng som er gratis (for medlemmer), men sesongen sluttet tidlig der så jeg måtte prøve ut det lokale anlegget til borettslaget. Som antatt var det veldig lite, sogar en skitten affære, og enda verre, så kommer 3kg valker fra en god sommer til syne!
