The Beautiful North


Manzhouli is like a totally different city now when it's warmer! Today i was just wearing a T-Shirt under the jacket. I can't believe that it was -36 degrees here just 2 months ago!! Changed so fast!

Streetside gym machines, and actually a lot of people use them....
Looks like it's been used a lot...
Around around goes the wheel, this exercise looks useful!
Street art!
After work I went to eat with Luke to a Russian restaurant called Sasha. The had all kinds of BBQ and other meat dishes. We ate till we could not get another mouthful down. The chef here is from Urumuqi and has a reputation of making the best Saslik in Manzhouli. And good it was! I also got to know that in the building next to this they make the best dog BBQ, guess we have a winner place for tomorrows dinner.....not.
To let the food sink down we went to VIP room for some whiskey to let the food sink better down. They had an evening performance. There were Chinese acrobats, some bartender throwing around bottles on fire and a drag queen signing. TIM = This in Manzhouli.
Handwriting in sand on a screen, but this performance sucked compared to all the others I've seen
Sunset up here in the north is almost as beautiful in Finland. Under a blood red sky like U2 would have put it. October....
