Manzhouli by day

After finishing everything up I went to kill some time before evening dinner. The hotel has a view of the Manzhouli lake although now it's totally forzen. There was someone sleeping or then just freezing himself/hersolf on it....This mall had some kinda promotion today...Did not do so well, the banner fell on the main road and cause a traffic jam...And when no one from the mall came and do anything about it some people got out of their cars and removed it.
Also found some strange tree houses while walking around. Wonder why the build them here. Lu Du Villa is not really the most amazing villa I've seen...Since this is a boarder town a lot of Russians are passing through on the weekends from shopping from Zabaylkask a city of 10.000 people. My friend here told me that Russian cars can pass the boarder without any problem what so ever. Only trucks need a license to come. Found a local market very similar to Silk street in Beijing or Qipulu in Shanghai. They all talked Russian to me which is don't know at all...People are however surprised here when a white guy speaks Chinese. I would have thought it's normal in a place like this.

Buy buy buy!

Deserted theme park....had a very Silent Hill 3 aura about it...
There are a lot of cool buildings by the road between the Boarder - Airport - Downtown. Some added below.

Went to the boarder for some inspections as well. Could ALMOST touch Russian land if it wasnt for the double fence.
