The everyday life

time two short episodes or one episode and a picture without words.

The plastic handle of my moped battery is broken (yes, Made in China had a new ...), so forth, this time from metal. Fortunately, we herein every 3rd Road to a metal factory (OK; garage would also be an appropriate term). After various materials were examined by the henchmen then has a metal band at the length abgeflext. Since there still was a little narrow, he took a hand to flex and flexes on the narrow side for about 3 mm derLänge after. Of course, without a safety glove, with the normal woolen glove.

At a price of 10 RMB (1.10 €), I had no motivation to act. When I wanted but then replaced the second grip they had gone, the metal, ie "meio". Well, you can not do anything, I must soon be time . Stop by

And here's a nice picture, just faster with the excavator is thriving (Unfortunately, cell phone camera):


Ah, but still 2 events of the last two days on the way to school:
4spurige Street , left on the trail stops at a scooter rider, because he has to call.

This morning, three-lane road: a sudden traffic jam, the cars leave the middle lane. A car with hazard lights on stands with the track, the woman is on the phone ... Can you believe
on Shanghai's streets

The German Ball




So, once again a gesellshaftliches Event in Shanghai, which we really wanted out. I dance at a ball with? Yes, well that was then somehow irrelevant and we also have 2x practiced before, but this later. About Alexandra's roommate, we went a week before the Ball to the (by us) coveted cards and then read the dress code "Black Tie" and the slogan "Black and White".
Well, tuxedo I had even brought from Germany, had only a little change. The dress I thought was more difficult to find, but the fabric market gave us a wealth of images, "I can copy", so that the dress was tailored perfectly within a week. The Stofmarkt is already a subject in itself, one would like to try again with every new let a new suit or jacket or shirt sew. Is indeed cheaper than in Germany in the store, and so far I've always been lucky. Well, dress was not a problem, then the shoes of the lady but rather, size 40 is almost impossible in China to get, then they had to spend the night in 39.
After we were piloted for the first time by half the Hyatt (people holding the signs seem to be cheaper than signs), we finally arrived at the correct input and received a welcome drink.
went after the obligatory entry on the score board, the opening and the opening of the hall doors are calm and relaxed (as unusual for China) in the ballroom.
After the opening dance (which we unfortunately did not dance), it immediately went wrong with party music, the band played everything from Abba to hit.
The buffet was great, but the starters could be done amicably, they ranged from antipasti to oysters caviar. For the main course there was a lot of lamb or fish and pasta. An absolute highlight was the dessert buffet with an ice bar (in both senses), fresh waffles, pancakes, just what the heart desired.
was in between dancing again, and the good food there were also excellent wines.
were interesting, of course, the other person to watch, as was it of foxes on the shoulder to Chinese double-D all.
In the draw, when it was to include a business class trip to Europe LH, we were unfortunately not among the lucky ones.
All in all a successful evening, which cries out for a repeat next year!

trip to the Organic Farm

After the issue of vegetables, fruit and healthy eating "was completed, we left it We do not take, nor to go to a Biogemüseplantage to see where the vegetables are really her. Through our bus manager Michael we could short notice to get a bus that brought us safe after 1.5 hour drive to the farm. There we were Eva, expected of the only German employees and taken immediately to a tour through the fields and the greenhouses. At the very beginning we were able to grow and we see Chili Peppers were also allowed to pick some for ourselves. Most children want to plant the seeds at home even to open her own chili plantation. One may be curious . Shortly
for us was prepared soil and pots to plant Chinese spinach. The pots were allowed to take the children and are now trying to nourish this up at home. In the next greenhouse carrots were planted, also could harvest the children and the Green
... ... Yes, that was great of course, they were allowed to feed carrots to the green of the incarnate goats. Since there was nothing more that no football to play was there, the goats have surpassed all expectations.
Finally we were allowed to have a look at the packaging hall, throw and go shopping there for organic vegetables at home.
All in all it was a very nice trip, one can only recommend it!

class trip!

On Monday, 3.11. went there for all second-graders for the first time on a school trip. Target was the water towns of Suzhou and Mudu. After a nearly two-hour drive we arrived at the silk factory in Suzhou. There we had a fascinating tour that found the children exciting. Among other things, stated that the cocoon consists of a 1km long silk thread. After the silk factory we went to a delicious buffet, which gave it everything that a child's heart could desire. OK, no fries, but there was this evening. "The good behavior" of children was raised by the other restaurant guests often, thank you  for the preliminary work of the parents.
After a good meal and a short catch games on the bus we went to Suzhou, where we did a very nice boat ride on one of the channels. After the visit of a was more than 500 year old house finally put it to the hotel for room allocation. short time later it was called "Action on the big meadow". As spring ball, jump rope, soccer against the teachers and so many more were played. Fully managed it went into the shower and fix dinner, which was quite marked Chinese (apart from the fries) and was very tasty. After a short night hike and the reading it was also very tired to bed.
The second day saw the first sunshine as well, so after breakfast we went on the road to go in two very nice parks. The children were able to fly a kite and on the playgrounds . Play In the evening there was again a night hike and it was continued reading from the Sams. Before we went home on Wednesday, we took a short boat ride in Mudu, only to be introduced to Chinese calligraphy. Each child could provide a fan with Chinese characters, a great souvenir and gift from the class trip. Quite exhausted we returned to 14:45 then go back to school, where parents have longingly awaited their children!
