we have been to qibao last sunday, and did some gourmet stuff



and it looks like this.... and it tastes good!!! some say like horse , but for the more common taste-comparison i would say like beef in the beef soup, but doggie style



some drying ducks on the balcony, yummy

a decision is made, soon i will be back in vienna and getting bored of the schnitzel and leberkäsesemmeln. but not so bad, daniel will catch me if he can at the airport with a can of ottakringer, and maybe bella provides a bottle of redwine... and for the time remaining i will just eat my beloved doufu and gumbascheding, some bauze and la mien from the noddle boys (who actuall gav me the chinese price for the noodle soup after 4 months paying too much... bastards)

ein starkes erdbeben (6.9) hat asien lahmgelegt. 5 tage ohne inet (ja da lachens...), langsam aber immerhin, vor einer stunde ist ein erstes email eingetrudelt am rechner.

the main goal on christmas-eve was to back cookies... well it worked out after a real challenge of searching for the ingedients (we had to taste lots of white powders, until we found backpulver - the same with vanilla-powder..., no cornflakes and no coconut-fat...)

and can you sprawl eggs with chopsticks? the electric oven we've borrowed crushed the electricity (candles then made real xmas-atmosphere) - but we did it! rainer and me presented 2 kinds of cookies, yummy!

so, well, after, lets say 2 month of being a pain in the as of the EXPO planners and collecting contributions on serveral spam-lists.... i got a response on my questions about maglev planning:

"Here is the Bureau of Shanghai Expo, the information you cared about is not in open. The official way to get Shanghai Expo detail information is our website, http://www.expo2010china .com.

Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination"

nice, ha?

and another one:

"Hello Claudia,

We are glad to have received your email.

I recommend you to read the latest released Expo Magazine which have collected lots of information of the preparation progress, esp this article . And more detailed reports are provided in the "Shanghai World Expo News" column.

As for the information you want, I'm afraid most of them haven't been released to the media yet, for instance, how the maglev will extend into the Expo Site. But the "Download" page in "participants services" has the plan of the site in PDF. There could be some slight chages now, but hope it could help you out to some extent.

The new exhibition hall is in the Expo Mansion, where the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo 2010 is in. Adress: No.3588 South Pudong Rd. [浦东南路3588号] Post Code: 200125. But I'm afraid it is not open to the public.....Thank you for keeping visiting our website. Wish you good luck on your thesis.

Best Regards"

nice evening in the flat, celebrating lisa birthday (is she really 22?) - original chinese hotpot and lots of beers...

der buddha, der baum, der fernseher und der strichcode... aber wunderbar
