Changement de decor

Une petite balade en train tue tout le spleen, me voila Qingdao, BEER-CITY!

6 heures de train, dans un train qui fait 200 km-h cest bien.

Et Qingdao est mieux!

Bravant linconnu, je suis parti en train hier matin avec les cryptiques informations pour me rendre a lhotel, qui est sur le top dune colline.

Debarquant du train, il fallait trouver lautobus 5. Qui coute 1 kuai, donc 16 sous environs. Ici cest bien parce que dans les autobus ya soit une tele qui te dit ou q...

Migration de morse!


Vers la fin septembre, a Qingdao, arrive un phenomene merveilleux, la migration des morses Chinois. Ces nobles betes, las de leur long ete ou ils se sont gorges de fruits de mers ou peu importe ce que les morses chinois mangent (Du riz?) arrivent sur les plages a Qingdao et prennent le controle de la place.

Les habitants locaux savent mieux que de narguer ces puissantes creatures, et donc garde une respectueuse distance. En general il vaut mieux eviter de croiser leur regard, car i...

Life at the Extreme

The latest stage of my geographically inefficient tour of China (see the spider's web that the map above is beginning to ressemble) has brought me to Qingdao. As the home of the nation's favourite Tsingtao beer and China's self-styled 'City of Sailing' (it hosted the Olympic sailing events) you may be surprised to hear that despite combining two of my favourite activities, Qingdao wasn't actually in the initial plan of places to visit. The idea instead popped up out of the blue during a furth...

Qing Dao - Protestant Church & German Consulate

Final day of our trip. Only hv time for some city shots. So we started off with the German Governer's Hall. Then the Protestant Church. Super night weather this morning and that really finished our photography trip perfectly.

So this Qing Dao trip really brought lots of chances for me to try out different perspectives at different subjects. The architectures are authentic (you only need to purposely avoid the aluminium window ...

YanTai - City wonders, Qing Dao - Sunset

Sadly we didn't have enough time to scroll through the city too much. We caught the coach in the morning back to Qing Dao.

We checked in a chain hotel (again) quickly and off we go for lunch. Korean food, surprise! Superbly nice and CHEAP. Then we rushed off to hunt for the sunset! Scrolling along the seashore, walking bit up ...

Local Price

... Brett went to pay the bill after we had drank our two beers and the guy charged him 90 quay. He came back to tell me and I said it must have been a mistake - even in nice restaurants in Shanghai they should only be about 30 each. I went over and told the guy in as much Chinese as I could that we only had 2 drinks, but he insisted this was the price. He told me in Chinese that they were 35 each. Once he realized that the math was clearly ...
