Disappointed

Hi there,

today I was at the forbidden city ... finally. I got up early, because I wanted to be right at opening hour (8.00) at the entrance for not having too many tourists around. I bought bread already yesterday, had still some jam, so I wanted to have breakfast there. worked perfect! I even found a place with nearly no tourists, as they all followed stupid the mainroute from south to north without moving one step to the side yards.

I always told myself: I'm gonna be disappointed of the forbidden city, because I already saw so many temples, and some of them I nearly had for me alone. And, surprisingly, I WAS disappointed, even on my few expectations... :( There was absolutely nothing, nothing, nothing that was special or very different compared with other places.

The Beihaipark (everybody told me that this is a sooooo beautiful place) disappointed me as well. OK. That's the news for today.

Some more news: the airline is gonna take my bike back home ... but it is going to be quite expensive... :| and I broke the display of my camera. The small one.

Tomorrow I'm going to explore the two markets (maybe disappointing as well) and the 798-thing, an ex-manufactury-builiding - as I love them, I HAVE to go there, even if it is quite far away. Nowadays you can find art galleries and - I'm looking forward to this - a fotographic gallery. yesss...

Everybody tells me, he LOVES that city, it has charme, it has spirit, it is beautiful. I don't like it. there is absolutley nothing SPECIAL in this city. it's just common, it is beeing destroyed for to be rebuilt in a touristic way. it IS green, there are lots of parks... yes, but...

hmmm, Manuel, if you read this, you have to explain me once more why you love this city so much... well, I have not been to BedBar now ;) and I'm afraid, I'm not going there. It is not much fun to go to a bar alone.

Now they are prepairing a big Party, on Tian'anmenSquare they build a stage, I guess tomorrow there is a celebration. As China "was built" (sorry, the correct verb is not on my mind) in 1949 ... well, anything more to say?

See you then tomorrow, for the last "on-tour"-Entry for this trip.
Have a nice day!
