Very much unique tea house

Frozen city square

The square in front of the city hall was completely frozen but children did not care or rather, they liked playing on the slippery square.

Vilnius

Took one day off to make a long weekend and visited Vilnius, the capital city of Lithuania. Although it was very cold, Vilnius is a lovely city with lots interesting architecture.

Forbidden City

Overwhelmed by its architecture. But unfortunately ran out of time because time to catch flight back to Sweden was approaching. Want to come back soon.

Tiananmen

Have met their great ex-leader.

Saturday morning

Traffic has become busy even on Saturday morning. Yes, I admit I am becoming kind of like Beijing but I don't want to drive a car on my own.

Yashow market

Yashow is a building comprising hundreds of small businesses and shops mostly specializing in clothes. Sellers are very aggressive and tough to negotiate prices. One cannot expect to win the negotiation against them because even if you think won but actually you have lost.

Wonderful food

All food is just amazing and tasty. The yellow vegetable needs a bit of carefulness. It is hot unlike Swedish mustard much like Japanese one. But still great taste.

Sanlitun

Busy commercial and gastronomic district. Eat yet another great kind of Chinese/Indian food with yet another sweat...

Wonderful Beijing

Visited Beijing as continuous business trip. Met wonderful colleagues and great food. This noodle was spicy and I was a bit embarrassed with sweat coming out of my warm body. But I cannot argue about the taste. And it it really inexpensive (8 RMB about 0.9 euro).

Shinagawa overview

Overview from Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Woke up early in the morning and opened up curtains, then impressed by the beautiful landscape and with a bit of clouds but still transparent sky.

A short trip back to Japan

A short business trip back to Japan. Ginza district where I came quite often in 80s and 90s. It's been changed and amazed by quite few brand shops but still Ginza is Ginza which is a town for matured people.
