TIC - This is China

The day started well, we went out with Hyan's family to do some barbecuing outside the city. Traffic wasn't that bad and we got there in a fair 2 hours. The scenery there wasn't that great thought...A small little lake full of trash and other crap. The food was really great though, Su Dun made excellent chicken wings and Hyan awesome banana-chocolate dessert (thanks for teaching us that last year in Turku Dani!)

At the barbecue area a lot of Chinese were sitting and fishing, we also got ourselves a fishing net and caught 3 small fishes. We put the poor fishes in a bottle without a lid (dunno who lost the lid). When we came home the fishes were just mysteriously gone from the bottle...Maybe they escaped from the trunk of the car somehow, dunno, TIC.

Sucky part of the day:
Got tickets to TULANDO in the Olympic Stadium in Beijing today 19:30. I was also suppose to go to work today from 18-21 but i didn't want to miss the musical because the tickets were worth around 60 euro. I called some friends of mine here and one Swedish guy was able to go to my job and do the job, i promised to pay him 450 kuai later. YES! Now i had a free day and can go watch Tulandooooo!

When arriving to the Olympic Stadium we had to go through a lot of security controls, que for some time and wait. When finally arriving to the last "checkpoint" the guards tell us we have tickets for TOMORROWS TOLANDO! Great, we didn't check the tickets in advance! Totally we had 8 tickets, 4 of them for today, 4 tomorrow and we were told that they were for today. We had come all the way to the stadium, waited there for 2 hours for nothing. ARGH! When trying to get out the guards didn't let us, they said we had to walk around the whole stadium if we wanted to get out, just great. So we get out and after a long walk and Su Dun picked us up. In order to make us feel a little better we went to Häegen-Daez to eat some high class ice cream. Best thing was the we couldn't go home either because we didn't have any key with us, so we had to wait almost 3 hours until the show ended so Hyans mom could come and pick us up. Uff what a waste of a evening!

Tomorrow i will go to the stadium at 19:30 again to wait for another 2 hours and hopefully be let in. But who knows, TIC.
