Beijing - start

From the 12 March to the 20 March 2003 I was on a study trip to Beijing in China with almost 50 other students from Aalborg University Esbjerg. A really nice trip to a very different culture if I compare it to my own. We saw many different things, but not only the traditionally things like The Great Wall and The Forbidden City, but also some factories and universities - which I thought was the most interesting things to see.

These pictures are dedicated to all my friends in the east and west.... enjoy!

Copenhagen Airport - named Kastrup. Thomas is looking at the terminal screens wearing his t-shirt from the student union.. yeah!!!

Welcome to China - almost, first we had to cross the China Border Control. Here we waited 45 mins until the Chinese border guards changed gear to warp-speed.

Thomas and I shared hotelroom, and this is our view out of the window - on a not too polluted day:-) The small houses are the so-called hutons, the Chinese traditionally housing in these parts of the country. In the distance on the right you can see Beijings central railway station.

Imagine the traffic in Denmark; ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz. Poland; could be better. In Moscow; very interesting. In Beijing; extremely crazy. For example; our busdriver went left round in a big rotary againt the traffic and now and then we took a taxi. If we were to many for one taxi, we took two. Because we couldn't speak Chinese, we said to the last taxidriver; "Just follow the other taxi". If you have seen James Bond, you know what happened, overtaking on the inside, driving on the bicycle lane, driving in front of other cars! The above pictures is a side effect of that (not our taxi!!!).

A visit to Beijing Cement Plant Co. We are listening to a spokesman from the plant - in Chinese interpreted to bad English. But at least we got a lot of numbers..... as how much they produce, how big they are.. how.... super environmental... Very insteresting, but we didn't hear much about how it worked:-(
