Formula 1

Today is the first race of Formula 1’s season. Personally, it doesn’t interest me at all but my husband made sure that he doesn’t miss any of it. We didn’t use our TV for a long time because there are just Chinese channels (we’ve no cable subscription) so he freak out when he turned it on this morning and found out that is it not working. He immediately called the flat’s leaser and begged them to do something about the TV and make it work before 12 o’clock and fortunately they were able to fix it.

The formula one race is being aired live by CCTV5 the only problem is…the commentators are speaking in Chinese so Marcus had a brilliant idea. He set up the beamer to show the live comments and statistics from the formula1 official’s website.

It’s totally not interesting for me so here I am…blogging.

A Smoggy Day in Beijing

We’ve been in Beijing last weekend and here are a few photos taken there.

I cannot remember how many times I’ve been in Beijing but this is by far the worst weather condition I’ve seen there. The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was relatively warm for Spring but boy, it was so smoggy! As you can see in the pictures, the air is much polluted. Everything which is 10 meters away is hazy.
