Piet Bos dot ME » general http://pietbos.me recently returned to Beijing, China from a 2yr break in Valencia, Spain Mon, 07 May 2012 16:12:21 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 a post at last http://pietbos.me/a-post-at-last/ http://pietbos.me/a-post-at-last/#comments Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:04:50 +0000 http://pietbos.me/?p=211 It has been some time since I last wrote a blog post.

I guess it is because Mia has been around and therefore someone to share my thoughts and experiences with and therefore less need to write here.

But of course it is also nice to write some sort of record of the impressions and therefore today is my day to write some back-posts. Below this post you will soon find writings of the past few weeks.

The first one was all the way in the North, so I took the #13 subway there and the second one was south of Guomao, so I could use the new #5 subway line all the way down.

It was a big surprise to see how enormously packed it was! And that on a normal Sunday, I guess it’s a good thing they finally finished that line.

When I exited at Guomao, the construction-site of the new CCTV Tower (designed by Rem Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren) was standing beautifully against the blue sky, so I quickly snapped a photo:
