"Dancing in the Park"
There's something super endearing about all the activity in the public parks in Beijing. In the Netherlands, if you put out a volleyball net, chances are it will be used for anything but volleyball. Put out a table, and some vandal will carve his name in it. Here? People exercise using bright yellow and blue equipment, they dance on their own or in a group, and they play Mahjong or cards at designated little tables.
Pay attention and join in with the steps!
Here are some more pictures of the hutongs around this park:
This women could use a little dance in the park!
In het Nederlands: Het is altijd gezellig in de parken in Beijing. Er wordt gedanst en gezongen, er wordt gekaart, en de ledematen worden goed gestrekt.
Welcome to this page of stories about China and (soon?) Brazil. When I started this blog in 2010, it was about moving and -- since August 2010 -- living in Beijing, China. We enjoyed five great years in Beijing, exploring our immediate neighborhood as well as other parts of China. Today we are on the verge of moving to Brasilia, Brasil. Like with China, I can't claim any particular knowledge or insights about this new culture, but will still share some of the things in front of me to take you along on this journey.
Anna v.d. H. is a Dutchie who has just lived ten years in the U.S. In August 2010 she moved to Beijing, China. As she is finding her way around, she might just share some interesting bits with you on her blog. Anna likes technical writing, knowledge management, good food, fun with friends and family, and would also like to see our earth's environment shape up a bit. She is interested in about anything under the sun and seems to have enough time to post a blog post once in a while.
