step the mind

Yesterday we went to the 48h Neukölln event, which is an art und culture festival, taking place in the borough Neukölln. It was funny and we saw nice things such as 80000 shots or Ola Eibl. Finally, the whole thing turned into a big party.
Also interesting: Gitte Bohr (Gentrification et al.)
Particularly bizarre: Batman Elektronik (a woman wearing a miniskirt made of circuit board pieces and dancing to electronic music)

In the plane of Air China they showed a couple of films. Among them were two chinese ones which I would like to recommend:
1. Buddha Mountain (2010)
2. Eternal Moment (2011)
I liked them and would enjoy to seem them again.

The conference was a complete success. Now we are tourists. Crazy city, everybody and -thing honks. Yesterday we had some green tea in a strange separee. After that dumplings. A problem is the breakfast since it is the same food as for lunch and dinner. Today we visited the Shanghai museum, which exhibits old stuff sorted according to the material, stone, bronze, jade. Around the hostel there are bells ringing every quarter of an hour. People are friendly but don't understand us.

PS: The site of my employer works. Here they eat jelly fish etc.

Here the first sites that I cannot open from my hotel in Shanghai:

- the homepage of my employer (including webmail)
- my private homepage (hosted by strato.de, which also does not load - however, Makkus' site does load)
- facebook

PS: fefes blog works

Boil it, peel it, cook it, or forget it.
(just as in many other countries)

As I learnt from the news, Amnesty International has been founded 50 years ago. By coincidence, today I am wearing a Amnesty International T-Shirt that I bought in Lisbon in 1999/2000 during the protests for Timor-Leste.
