bad connection
After 4 days the phone is back on, and I patiently upload images and enter posts on Hotlog. The connection is soooo slooooooow and keeps cutting off - but better late than never...
We are invited for dinner by Leatitia at Laobeijing restaurant opposite Poly Plaza off the 2nd ring road. The traffic is terrible and on top the driver makes several detours and does not know where he's going - it takes over an hour to get there. Brian and several artist residents are here. I sit next to a Mexican Embassy intern wo turns out to be my Mexican artist friend Yoshua Okon's sister in law. The world seems small again.
After dinner we meet up with John Campell a musician and journalist, who takes us to a club called Club Yu Gong Yi Shan, where several Chinese bands play, people chat, smoke, drink and play pool. The first band is kind of interesting, combining traditional Chinese instruments with electric bass and guitar.
