moving beijing

so havent posted a thing since last week except friday night was my first night out in bj saw a few places had some street food. no pictures maybe on fb.
but its was a normal week but mostly looking forward to this weekend. which was the weekend my relatives moved to their new house.
most talked about but only seen from the outside the house did not dissapoint. oh its just down the street
much better finishes and spaces then the last house. it was done up by some danish guy, and as expected alot of storage space with built in shelves and drawers
as with all poeple too lazy to write. ill just post a bunch of pictures

packed


entrance comes complete with guards


new kitchen. next time i want the same tap fixture in my house


new dining/living

backyard


basement room?


my new room :D


my bathroom. thank god for the rainshower


albert's room

new first floor living room. landlords here are so nice. they buy you new tv to use. if my glasgow landlord is reading this..you get the drift

weekend + bikes

the average weekend here in beijing is pretty much average.
wake up
breakfast
tennis (depending if it rained the night before or what time i got up)
lunch
bum around the house. if lunch was outside maybe walk around somewhere in beijing
dinner

well today i went to a bike store. one nearby where im staying now. it was a pretty nice store.
and i was thinking of gettinga folding one and brining it back to glasgow with me. as light as they are i didnt expect them to be so damn expensive. so i might have to rethink my options now.


this really cool looking one is made by birdy. at the shop it costs 12000 yuan. which is roughly. RMno-way-in-hell-your-parents-would let-you-get-one.


This one a little less and not so bad looking is a good possibility. around 1800yuan. its from dahon a little weird for an american brand but. i can live with it.


Some cooler bikes seen online. price tag for a designer bike shouldnt kill. hopefully
vasu if youre reading this why dont you do something soon about your product design course and build me a bike. thanks

oh and a random picture from lunch. i kinda got through lunch forgetting i brought my camera to take pictures of food. oh well theres always next week.

Pay day

after a long hiatus. i guess i should start things up again

i wont dawdle on important stuff just get straight to the boring stuff.

its been a month since ive been in beijing and almost a month since ive started my summer internship. highly emphasizing the month part cause as the title says it. today was payday, and boy was it scheweeeet. yea baby guess whos rolling in the yuan now. yup i think its about time i retire.


anyways at the office we got new desks over the weekend. and well. they werent what i expected at all not even close. i guess they are a little more sturdy and 'expensive' but i think the office lost abit of its airiness once these big boys came in. although yea you got more privacy to well twiddle your thumbs or decorate your little nook with inappropriate pictures which could be invisible to some i guess. but yea there are possibilities and things look organized for now.

have no idea what else to write about. right saw harry potter last weekend. and i think they should have more scenes with hermione in it. that probably why so many people didnt really like it. not enough hermione and a little too many scenes where they have awkward pauses and drag the scene a wee bit long.

oh fans were probably anrgry they didnt do the dumbledore funeral. or maybe that was just censored here in china. along with certain parts in the beginning and the major fight scene after dumbledore's death. total bollocks.

packed and ready to go

so last Monday i moved out of my student accommodation. packed everything in 4 hours and i was out. quick and painless. almost like a tooth extraction.

speaking of which i had an abscess during my trip in London. it was weird, the right side of my face bloated up making half of me look like a really fat me. i think its good for everyone to experience it at least once in your life. to see another side of you a fatter side. i guess it would serve as a reminder to exercise regularly.



now im waiting, packed and ready to go.




ps. oh yea i also got another haircut. wtf

alarm

you know those times when you set your alarm to wake yourself but its digital and you sometime switch the am and the pm up. it just happened this morning and i missed my bus. FML

o london london

its been an amazing week. first off after the studio submission came down for a little r&r in london

ive been pretty much zen-ed out of my mind. catching up on tv, wandering around, eating great food. yea its been a blast. a few more days still though. and then back to glasgow. where ALOT of packing awaits. on the other hand a few things to look forward to

1. wednesday night. euro finals
2. secret trip
3. getting paid
