YONGHE TEMPLE
















I am so lousy at updating the blog these day - the pink cloud is hard to leave for anything but work. Boyfriend and I paid Beijing it first tourist visit this weekend - The Lama Temple - which I, though I have been in Beijing many many times - have never visit. It was super beautiful and actually an okay place to go on a Saturday - not too many people - which often is the case on almost all spots in the weekend. On our way hope we passed The Forbidden City - and boyfriend had a taste of what he can expect on Wednesday, where I have the day of, for us to visit it, Tienanmen square and of course The Foreman.

Note: Don´t you just love that you have a phone booth in the temple ? Just in case you wanna call somebody and tell them how great the temple is ! You simply have to love China !

PINK HEAVEN








I am ridiculously happy - no clouds on my sky - except for the pink one I am flying on. Boyfriend´s here and I haven´t slept so well as last night all time I have stayed in China - and yes, he even fixed the TV and the Air con in the apartment - and he has only been here for one day - what can the weeks not bring ?

IN THE SUN



I just bought the album "Volume Two" from She & Him - and I really feel it: boyfriend arrived this morning - and nothing can bring me down - how lucky am I ?

SHUNYI ART EXPERIENCE












Also this weekend has been packed with lots of stuff to do. Friday I went out for a farewell dinner for one of the girls here - who are leaving for Norway in 2 weeks. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant in the embassy area - not my best experience here and quite pricey, but a cozy evening with drinks and good company. Saturday my friend and I went for an adventure out of town. We went first to get our nails done in the Village (- I went for very dark red darlings on my hands - love the color and I am for sure gonna choose that again) and after that we to a taxi north to join other friends at a farmers marked in Shunyi. It is a quite suburban place and I almost got claustrophobic but the art part of it was quite inspiring - though I didn´t see anything I would hang on my walls it is so fun to see other ways to do galleries. In the evening we quickly hurried home, passing Jenny Lou´s on the way to get the necessaries to have pasta and white wine on the balcony at my friend place. Later we went to Nola for DCCC Beijing Young Professionals - the bar were free till 23 o´clock and after then the drinks were cheap - so it was a super night, with way to many drinks, but lot and lot of fun - with some colleges and girlfriends from the Wednesday Dinner Group. Yesterday was hangover day in the sun in Central Park and today it´s count down day - as boyfriend is joining me in less than 18 hour - wuhuuu!

CHICKEN ?





Going out to night ... guess what I am wearing...

SIMPLE DECORATION







Hopefully moving to "the" apartment within the next 2 weeks - and believe me - I am not keeping many of the furniture provided by the compound - so I am collecting inspiration on how to decorate with few things. I am already missing my paintings - the rooms are so white - but lamps from Ikea and some paint would solve that problem very quickly - and artificial grass - not a bad idea ! - not to forget the clouds - who would not love to have such a bed room ?
