20th July 2007 Yilan Slept like a baby for the first time in 3 days. Woke up and felt much better. The fever seemed to have gone, though C still thought I was a little too warm. I was dizzy as hell though and could feel that I had very little strength and endurance. I […]

19th July 2007 Yilan I slept terrible. Fever dreams again but fortunately no overjoyed Ronaldinho. I dropped trying to sleep at 4.00am. I felt that bad. I was very warm, but couldn’t sweat. My head was spinning and I had an enormous headache. Now I had done my part to get some rest, and had […]

18th July 2007 Harbin/Yilan 7.00am and we were awake. Actually I’ve been awake a number of times. I had slept just as bad as the day before and had feverish dreams to booth. Some people dream about monsters, dragons, devils, the undead, but I dream about. Ronaldinho. Ok – he’s a cool soccer player, but […]

17th July 2007 Harbin Slept like a rock. Or on one. The last statement being the more accurate. I felt like shit when I woke up. During the night and early morning I woke up many times and each time it felt like my back, neck, hips and shoulders were hit by a car. Sleeping […]

14th July 2007 Yilan Hellooooooo hangover. Long time no see? Back to catch up on old memories are we, eh? I was wasted yesterday and it was my own fault. If I hadn’t been so set on getting C’s uncle’s respect at drinking, I could have faced another exciting day instead of spending the whole […]

13th July 2007 Yilan Note: Pictures from this day can be found if you scroll down. After having a quick toothbrush and wash we found ourselves at C’s parent’s home for some breakfast. 8.15am C’s stepbrother and his brother-in-law showed up in a taxi (this time a real car if you can say that about […]

12th July 2007 Yilan Note: Pictures from this day can be found if you scroll down. Up and about at 7.30am. C wanted to go to the nearby mountains for a walk, which I found pretty interesting. I haven’t had much contact with Chinese nature yet and this was a great chance to do so. […]

11th July 2007 Yilan Note: Pictures from the market can be found by scrolling a bit down this page Not sure what time we woke up. C decided it was time, so I just went with the flow. Turns out she had a plan. That’s how things work out here. Either there is a hidden […]

10th July 2007 Yilan Wrote a bit about yesterday in the morning. We got up at 7am and C saw an opportunity to go for breakfast at her parent’s home. This interrupted my plans for doing all of the writing about yesterday, but no sweat, I weren’t far behind anymore. We walked to her parents […]

9th July 2007 Yilan 7.30am and I’ve been awake for about 1 hour. Just too lazy to get up. Stomach still not too well and not hungry. Yet I eat some noodles with egg and onion that C made yesterday. Gotta eat something right. I’m back to writing again. I’m way behind. C thinks I […]
A newbie Laowai’s notes on Chinese public bathing for foreigners You enter the joint while all employees look at you with awe and say “Ni hao” (this is the version where they’ve actually seen you before). Then you let your Chinese wife do the buying of fat laowai washing time, as you flip flop in […]

8th July 2007 Yilan Woke up at 8am. I started writing up on all that has gone on here for the last days. So many new impressions, but not enough time to get it all down on paper. While I sat alone and wrote this stuff, 2 mothers came by with their children. C’s sister […]

7th July 2007 Yilan We woke up at 7.00am. After a quick wash and toothbrush, I vrote a whole lot on this blog. At least 3 hours worth, which felt really good after many days of missing out. C went shopping for some stuff meanwhile. We went to C’s parents to meet up with her […]

6th July 2007 Yilan Woke up at about 6am. I was thirsty as hell. C’s sister’s apartment has no air-condition, but I’m getting used to that. Well that is, I’m getting used to sweating like there’s no tomorrow and not caring about it. Attacked the toilet again. As expected it was not a pretty sight […]

5th July 2007 Yilan Stardate 0 plus 5 moon days. Captain’s log. We’re orbiting the 3rd moon on the planet Quazar before vectoring to the sector 7 landing zone on Quazar. The Quazarians are a friendly race, but their customs are very different from us earth people’s. The planet itself is a strange sight and […]

4th July 2007 Beijing Got up and went for some breakfast. We decided on a baker. I love bread and never tasted bread from a real Chinese baker before. “Bread” may be taking my mouth too full. All the 4 different breads we had, was like eating very sweet and odd textured cake. It’s ok, […]

3rd July 2007 Beijing Up at 8.30 a bit wrecked in my back from the hotel bed. It’s a good bed but too hard on my comfy Danish pork back. We headed down on the hotel diner to catch some breakfast. Acceptable selection of food of and cheap as always. C had an idea to […]

2nd July 2007 Beijing 8.20am I was fully refreshed again from a good 8 hours sleep. Not sure the jet-lag is gone, but sure feels that way right now. Ate breakfast at the hotel diner for 10RMB. Ok breakfast. Nothing fancy, but the food did what it was meant to do. We were full as […]

1th July 2007 Beijing Landed in Beijing 35 min after schedule. The passport business was easier than expected, though the laowai line was slower that the one my wife could use. The officer checking out my papers was fast and smiling. I would be smiling too, if I had 5 buttons for the costumers to […]

30th June 2007 Aalborg-Beijing Note: the Internet on the hotel is pretty unstable. It’s there, but accessing some sites is next to impossible. Using outlook to send emails is no good, and I have to use a sluggish webmail to send we-have-arrived-safe-and-sound-mails to my relatives. This also means that posting this entry took ages and […]
