Dear Familiy and FRIENDS,

In order to stick with the topic first. My superbicycle, the one I won the second price with last week, has obtained the criteria to be exposed to a high level of maintainance skills.
To say it short… The chain broke! on my drive yesterday, in the last curve arriving late at my meeting, I heard something.

Since I used my speed to reach the platformchina(.org) I was desperatly looking for already since half an hour, i noticed the loss of the chain… The chain of the superbycicle in the middle of darkness, late for an appointment, gone. Happy enough it was enough speed to bring me exactly where i wanted to be, and I hadn’t noticed it before arrival. The chain was lost and I couldn’t even make a photo.
Now the meeting was a delight. And i try to forget the bicycle problem asmuch as I can. .. to be honest I can’t. it is magnificent to be on a bicycle in beijing. Limit your speed if you are used to drive a bicycle in holland but imagine you’re waiting in front of a red light or a traffic-attendend and suddenly it’s green, she flags and the bicycles start to move (slowly). It is like honey .. smooth…

Maybe for some readers it might still be a mystery what I”m actually doing in beijing besites biking. I try to lift a little the curtains. Basicly I’m meeting and interviewing people about their impression of what is going on and what is being said about beijing.
I’m very glad that I may meet these people (artists, architects, designers, organizers, students and many more)that take time to hear my story and truthfully telling me about living, doing and making here. That is the beginning for a new episode and I think it resemblance of what is being said generally about the city and even the country.
I haven’t had a long discussion yet about the effects from the cultural revolution and other political events.
Though the television is interesting. Many things are said by the setting. Besides the television I also try to
organize a longer stay in beijing next year, which was part of the plan before I came here.

Now I come close to talk about the disk. I mentioned the disk in the sink last two fresh impress, This magical thing about this disk is, even without the rubber it remains waterproof.That is in contradiction to the generall quality standard in which my superbicycle would match perfectly or the windows of my room.
I don’t know yet. Don’t let me judge to soon because I stay wondering day by day….
