Pump泵感 Press推举 Swing摆举 those Kettlebells壶铃!

November 12, 2010

Since we’re living in a courtyard we thought it would be convenient to fix up a gym of our own. We have enough space for it and even when it gets cooler the pumping will heat you up along with the Rocky Soundtrack playing on Repeat. Li Danlong has a long experience exercising and […]

November 4, 2010

You have a few more days to experience Swedish fashion – Exploring a New Identity at the White Box in 798.

This is always a lovely place to go, no matter what day it is. Today was a bit special though, as it was time for the weekend festival of 南锣鼓巷 NLGX. It felt like the people that gathered were an equal mix of locals and expats, all there to enjoy the scene.

呼吸，我敢你 Breathe, I Dare You

September 2, 2010

Here is another post from an obvious foreigner. I’m just an other 老外 LaoWai in this town. Another one to blame it all on the air I breath halfheartedly. Not many locals I’ve met discuss the pollution and even less blame it on their bad health if they might be so unlucky. For me it […]

I now have chronic polka dots on my back and I love it! It doesn't happen without pain and sacrifice but it's become the most vital part of Traditional Chinese Medicine in my life. I do it weekly now after long suffering from Bronchitis in this City of Dust.
