Today in China

I just received the following Golden Pig from a colleague and wanted to share it with you!

I’m not sure it will display properly on all browser. Try to copy-paste it and to use Verdana as a Font!

Here is a picture version of what it should look like:

After we lost the last Winter Challenge Tournament at Red Ball, we decided to register for the new Strictly Amateur Cup. No Big Price for this tournament but One free draught beer for all the players after the game!

The good news is that we are in second position so far. The bad news is that the tournament’s schedule is crazy!!! According to this schedule, we will have to play 2 games on the 3rd of May??? During the May holiday! I hope MR. W - our captain - will do something and contact the organizers ASAP…

After the last RED BALL ARENA WINTER CHALLENGE where they finished 6th of their group… :-S The Beijing Buffalos are back for the THE STRICTLY AMATEUR CUP with awesome uniforms! Click on the pictures for bigger size.

All these pictures are provided by NIIK, our Goal Keeper!

Thanks to Gaelle (for the Beijing Buffalo Logo!!!) and Gael (for the Beijing Buffalos uniforms production!!!)

By the way, if you want a Beijing Buffalos T-Shirt, contact me, we still have some for sale at 150RMB… very limited edition!!!

And for yesterday’s score… Well, if I am correct, we won the first game 19-0 and lost the second one 2-8

Beijing plan to provide a list of 300 ‘Tasty Restaurants’ to be recommended to foreign guests attending the Beijing Olympic Games. 148 are already in the list with amongst others Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant (全聚德) and Moscow Restaurant near Ritan Park. 150 more will be added before the Games.

This first list has been selected by netizens on Sohu.com’s channel ‘eating and drinking’. The list has then been reviewed the Bureau and Food Associations for criteria such as facilities, sanitation, environment, services and management.

I’m sure Morel’s also made it in this first list… but I want to check by myself! So…

Question: Does someone know where we could find this list?

Here is a crazy commercial for a crazy game that seems to be distributed in China…

I’m leaving China for a ten days Business Trip in Europe. But I do not forget you who have to stay in Beijing where it’s raining all days long…

Imagine Galery in DaShanZi will start a new Exhibition on Cheng Yong’s work. Cheng Yong is born in Jiangsu and now works in Nanjing Technical College of Special Education.

The exhibition starts on the 9th of March and will last until the 3rd of April. Enjoy!

Olivier, Jose and me are back from our expedition on the Huvsgul Lake in the North of Mongolia. Here are some pictures. I will upload more of them and provide a slideshow soon…
