Trippy

(some parts may not make sense since they refer to polish version of blog. Sorry :P)

After my recent blogger katharsis, I learn how to write anew. I emptied drafts, I emptied mind, I took a break, I can start again. I'm learning from others, reading forementioned Sebo (like relation from North Korea) or Filip (amazing Chinese Patrol, dude is driving around whole China on his tiny Chinese motorbike)

Furthermore Sebo was visited by someone, someone cool, someone you miss (hi someones). They showed us, me, what keeps people in Beijing, what is it here that despite AQI 300+, cab drivers trying to hit you on your green light, police guys "200rmb each one and you're free", guys with stick and guys with keys to your scooter, there are still many things worth mentioning, even in broken English style.

Anyway, today more directly slash touristic, closed steel factory.

"Rules of engagement" with Chinese characteristics

Ye, ye, lazy, reusing pics

Some old one, but short at least :). Original one is here

Post is from around 20th July, 2012, Friday (the big-ass storm in Beijing, you remember swimming to bus?). Apparently, at 呼家搂,  Tuanjiehu subway station, some thief got caught and decided to take one of "security" *cough* girls there as a hostage. Why, what for, noone knew and storm-news-day occupied everyone.

Anyway, police tried negotiations with him for around 2 hours, the guy didn't want to cooperate tho. In the meantime police called local swat team.

Good job! Noodles time

The Rambo guys didn't mess around, just set up snipers and shoot the kidnapper.

So in case one day you decide to follow the Dark Path, never take a hostage.

How to fix a motorbike...

... without knowing chinese, in 6 easy steps.

Step 1. Take picture of what is broken (inner tube was smashed)

Teamouting

Road to park.
Above you can see
the 4th Ring Road

Teamwhaaaaaaaa? Team outing, hell yea! In theory "whole team goes to do some activity that will  strenghten internal relations". In reality, team is obligated :) to have as much fun as possible.

We decided to have our dose of happines at "Happy Valley", the best amusement park I've ever seen. But, let's not spill the beans :)

Trip to Zhōngguāncūn, electronics shops - that's in Beijing ;)

 After recent fun with ipad2 in the office,  I've decided to buy myself... No, not ipad ;p, some ipad's ripoff with Android (Android rox!). The only problem was that I had no idea where to find it. I knew I could buy it online, but... I'd love to see it in action first :). So, quick investigation in the office ("Allo? Anyone know place with lots and lots of cheap electronics?") and Ionut pointed me to Zhōngguāncūn - according to wiki, China's Silicon Valley. Here we go, time for another trip :)
