I had planned to visit China towards the end of May, but circumstances brought me here much earlier. I am in Tianjin now, which is about an hour drive from Bejing, if one dares to drive. They are the most lovely people I have met in a long time, but traffic here is utter chaos and red lights are mere decorations! Anyway, is there a Ziner around? I am spending some time in Bejing next week and it would be nice to meet someone.

Also, my fiancee is from here, and so I know North-East China a bit now. I will be happy to answer any questions about food (mostly delcicious) and places to visit.

My best regards to all of you, Joachim
