Too much people

As Beijing is soon to reach it's 18 million population many things become very very 麻烦 (mafan). The air here hasn't been as good as last year, it's a lot of fog fog smug mist smug and whatever. Better stay inside...

One thing that bugs me in the morning are the people in the subway. There are CLEAR lines where to que when the subway arrives. Stand at the SIDE of the door so everybody can get out first, THEN go in. But NO, people block the door and as soon as it's opened there are people trying to get in and out bumping into each other.
Do they think that there's not gonna be enough room in the half empty subway when there are about 10 other waiting to get in. I don't just get it. Same thing with getting off the subway...
I usually stand just by the door because it's only going 1 stop from home to work. I get in the subway and wait, as soon as the door closes there are often somebody pushing his or her way to stand even closer to the door so they can surely get off the subway, just grand.

This weekend I went playing football with a bunch of foreigners. Most of them were danish but also a few british, swiss and americans. Haven't been with this many foreigners around in Beijing for a looooong time. The match was good but we lost 4-1, was 42 degrees and sunshine so running on the field for 30 min was kinda HOT. It's like Desert Ball.

Also did a 3h english teaching class and talked about a lot of random things, including what they had ben doing in the summer. Drew up my summer vacation and it looked something like this...
Last weeks friday my co worker gave me some breakfast snack...Something you wouldn't get in the west, a duck neck! It taste alright, kinda salty and like chicken.
