Beijing is smoggy and everyday we have rain. I’ve seen the sun on time since i came back. But i guess at the Olympics its gonna be nice as they are trying to controll the weather.–> http://www.usatoday.com/weather/research/2008-02-29-china-weather_N.htm

At work everything is good and we started our project for real now. Its a lot to do and we ar all behind the schedule. But its much more fun now and time is going fast! Now its weekend and im thinking of what to do. If the weather is getting better i might go horseriding outside beijing. Otherwise i think i’ll go to the gym and then tonight go out for some drinks with a friend.

Recently the chinese people seem to be so much more friendly than before. The other day when i was with oliver taking photos in the rain came to people giving us umbrellas. Another night we sat down at some small stone wall outside the subway. Then came a women giving us newspapers to sit on. So nice=) Even the taxi drivers are smiling now!=)

In 4 weeks the olympics starts and im really curious how its gonna be. Everything is about the olympics and they are really trying hard to clean up and make things better here. I’ve heard that they gonna learn the taxi drivers english and also make people queue up…lets se how it goes. But there is also a sad side of it . For instance they destroy a lot of old tradional chinese buildings and houses and forces families to move from their homes. Things are really changing quick here in beijing and i guess if i would leave beijing for a month or so i wouldnt recognise things when im back.

Oliver is on a trip for about 2 weeks. For the moment he’s in the desert somewhere northwest.

Okidoki! Got to leave now!

Puss puss!
