... were uncovered at the tombs.

We went by the Living Gate - Threshold of the Stars. When you leave you step over it - men with left foot and women with right foot (to ensure your return).

We saw Wungong (5 sacrificial utensils) that are in front of all the tombs. The middle utensil was an incense burner.

We were walking through a very nice area. It would have been serene without tourists. There were swallows flying around amongst all of the evergreen ...

... and took only 10 months to build. The temple is the largest extant sacrificial temple in China. When we first arrived we spent a few minutes on the grounds surrounding the temple. Many Chinese people come to the grounds in the mornings for dancing, exercise, games and even karaoke. When I say dancing, I mean, real choreographed dancing. Every morning people come out, and partner up with a stranger to dance. On the way back to the bus, a Chinese man offered me, what looked ...

... stadium can hold more than 90,000 spectators. The site of the entire place is simply mesmerizing. It took me several minutes before I could say anything.

It was a very innovative thing in those days, and it can house about 6 million people. The tunnels were well lit and decorated with photos. It was also interesting to wonder, even now, why it is not publicised at all, and why it is still so secretive. We were hungry ...

... their concert with a resounding rendition of the Olympic theme. Maybe because we are in the Olympic City and we see so many reminders of the upcoming games, it caused the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It was very exhilarating! We enjoyed a few more numbers and then thanked them with a heartfelt standing ovation. Our long day ended with a one hour bus ride, to go only 5-6 miles, so that we could ...

I am near the center of Lhasa, three market-filled sidestreets away from the holy Jokhang Temple. The place is a throughly modern mix of the local and the global; pilgrams circumnavigate the temple clockwise for good merit, prostrating by it's entrance and swirling prayer wheels while tourists bump against each other in the current clutching their digital cameras and eyeing the torquise jewlery for sale. Inside the temple pilgrams pray and ...

... voor de komende tijd, namelijk een presentatie over Nederland en een rapport over de Nederlandse incentive markt. Later kregen we van David te horen dat die presentatie nog even wordt uitgesteld want hij wil dat alle werknemers aanwezig zijn, en de komende 2-3 weken is dat niet het geval in verband met het komende Spring Festival ( Chinees Nieuwjaar).
