Sanlitun

Some people still enjoy their holidays but not me. Our school started on saturday and goes on the whole weekend. Today i've been studying at home all day but then a finnish friend of mine called in the evening and i went eating with him. After the food we went to have 3 beers to talk about this and that. After some good 2h chat and catching up about Finland we left the bar.

Outside the bar was a huge horde of people and we immediately knew something was going on there...I asked another foreign guy who stood beside the people horde what's happening here because there were a lot of western people. He said that 10 guards came to beat up a western guy and then kicked him while he was lying on the ground...I have no idea what this guy had done but whatever it was it's pretty brutal to have 10 guys kicking one guy in the ground. Something about some quarreling with a Chinese guy, dunno about what. When other foreigners saw Chinese guards beating him up they rushed to help and the guards stopped beating him.

A little while later the police came and almost threw the guy who was bloody into the car and left with the sirens on. I don't think there will ever be any mention about this in the paper and i will probably not know what happened to this guy or what he did. This is just an example what might happen in China if you don't play by the rules....

Personally i never had any problems with anything anywhere here. I've been in many different cities and everybody is always super friendly. I'm pretty curious what might have triggered this whole situation...Will write about it if anything comes up.

The guy either:

- Sold drugs

- Did something to some girl in a bar

- Beat some Chinese guy in the bar

- Stole something from a bar
