Wednesday government's day

Dear friends,

Another day with a lot of sun and a lack of wind, but we went on the water anyway. In the afternoon the maire and a part of the chinese government were coming to the other side of the Dianshan lake where their would held a speech. Toni, the big chief of the real estate, asked us to bring the opis to that place, so we took the opis with the ribs to there. It was a hell of a job, but it was it worth cause the government and especially the maire were very enthousiastic about our job and about the NOCSP project!

In the early evening we took a bus to Qingpu, which was a nice experience, we were the only europeans in that bus. The locals were looking that much amased that their split eyes became european bold eyes...

We had dinner at the pizza hut and did some shopping in the center just in front. But first we walked into a lane, which was very impressive to see, because their was a big big contrast between the grim reality of the lower chinese class living next to the hyper modern shopping centers. At the end of the lane we were forced to make a U-turn cause their was dirt all over the place smelling very badly, it made us feel like we were going to throw over any time. Afterwards we went to the local carrefour where we bought so much food that we needed two trolleys, but the most amazing thing was that it costs us only 50 euros, to devide by four... "fluitje van een cent!" The funny thing about that carrefour thing was that we had a bodyguard to let us to the taxi! Probably because we bought that much food that the locals would otherwise maybe steel our food or take our money or whatever...

Happy to be home but unhappy that the door of our room was closed from inside, we tried everything such as asking Kevin to play Tarzan and climb on the balcony but he came to late because Mathieu had already fixed the problem!


More news tomorrow,

See you soon!
