Bird nest
Last year we were in Beijing during the paralympics. Because of that the new stadiums they built could only be seen from a large distance. Fences with razorblades on top and tanks were guarding the site. That’s why I went to see the Bird nest up close today. There was some race car event going on there with “Shumasjuh” according to the Chinese. My guess is that they mean that Michael Schumacher would be there. Anyways I got some nice shots of the thing, I just hope I get to upload the pictures. The internet here moves my bytes slower than my toilet flushes. It’s amazing. As a side note, due to the lack of a decent sewage system, the toilets here are paper-incompatible. Meaning I have to drop my used pieces of paper in an open (why open my god) bin next to the toilet. You understand I keep my bathroom door closed at all times.

Hi Bram,
Good guess… the race is called Race of Champions, and is to be held from Nov 2 -4 in the Bird’s nest. And Schumacher is present…

I like picture 4 a lot… and again a nice toilet story! I think the first thing you’re going to do when your back home is having a nice visit to your own toilet and enjoy it for a couple of hours
Wow! Foto 4 is zo goed gelukt zeg! Even bellen naar een paar publishers
Die kan namelijk zo in een tijdschrift!
