good saturday.
For my first weekend since my arrival, i decided to have a visit to the sport center and the skatepark of Fangzhuang, i met in person Andrew Guan who introduced me to other friends of him. the skatepark was beingfixed, so we ride on the place juste close to here , it was very fun , a lot of people were watching us and young people followed me with their bikes.
Something was dangerous over there, the Kite's strings!because in beijing you always see kites in the sky the owners are often in the parks beside. very nice kites as well. i'm planning to try kite also. my university is a good spot.
after we went to Wangfujing, the " Champs Elysees" of beijing. there we ride at the church , it's the famous skateboard spot. there was a bunch of musicians performing traditionnal songs and also russian songs , in fact all kind of songs, the volunteer public was invited to perform with them.
I felt that beijing is getting more freedom, but well i don't know i'm just here since 6 days.. all these people was kind to me ( the skateboarders and BMX) it was a good saturday night.
after that i ride alone to tien'anmen to shorten my taxi ride, there was a lot of people there cause it's actually a special day maybe beginning of autumn, there was a lot of flower and miniatures of natural landscape of china. Mao was very well enlighted also.
i found a taxi who take me home, the price was ok 32 yuans (3 euros) so it's possible for me to have good week end like that however i'm far from the center.
here is some littles pictures.
