Orphan Whisper

Orphan Whisperer These 3 weeks apart have been awful. Never since the beginning of my time in China have I wanted to jump ship so badly. Huai Rou is the burbs of Beijing. I don’t even like the suburbs of America, so this has been just the pits. Like USA, Huai Rou has swept away all the beggars...

Een portie cultuur

Wat gaan de dagen weer snel zeg! 's Ochtends word ik klappertandend wakker (ik slaap graag in de koude lucht, wakker worden alleen weer niet ;-)) en iedere dag denk ik zeeen van tijd te hebben. Niets is minder waar, voor je het weet komen we weer moe en met goed gevulde buiken het hotel in (het...

Het werkende leven

Vandaag heb ik een kijkje in de keuken van werken kunnen nemen. Joke opent donderdag een kantoor waar momenteel zo'n 5 chinezen werken en het ziet er prachtig uit. Leuk om te observeren hoe de chinese medewerkers reageren tijdens een werkoverleg. Veel verlegenheid en veel gegiebel, maar ook veel...

Webless in Beijing

Life has handed us a strange turn of events. After completing the adoption and visiting the orphanage, we took our tired boy back to the hotel for a nap. A different boy woke up from that nap. Angry. I think it hit him that a big life change had happened. Poor princess became the object of all...

Een typisch staaltje China..

Had ik zo mooi een blog voorbereid in Nederland en natuurlijk niet aan gedacht dat China veel websites nog steeds (of weer) blokkeert! Hoewel China in rap tempo verandert en moderniseert, zijn ze nog steeds bang voor censuur. Maar probeer eens 1,3 miljard mensen in het gareel te houden! Er is...

Joanne's birthday

The morning of Joanne's birthday, we had just ordered our breakfast when I thought I heard a couple at the next table asking for “two free breakfasts”. The previous day I had noticed a sign up saying “Free breakfast not on the menu”, but we had decided that it meant that there is no free...

Spectacle: Total Eclipse of the City

We hadn't managed to get to Shanghai in time for the total solar eclipse, but there would still be a fairly full eclipse visible from Beijing, so we had decided to view it from Tian'anmen Square; it was nearby, it would be interesting because of all the people there, and there was enough...

Hotel Beijing

Since we had decided to go to Shanghai a day early, we had to book our train ticket as soon as possible. Train ticket booking was one of the services the hostel offered, so it wasn't going to be much hassle. We thought. In order to be as organised as possible we spent much of the morning...
