2008-02-01:
A crazy weather here. Around noon we had a snow storm, and within one hour Wuhan has become white. The "street workers" who clean the streets from ice, mud and snow work in a strange way, according to my opinion. They take the dirt and snow and ice from areas of the street where no cars drive and put it there where cars drive. Maybe the people who gave the order think that the snow melts faster if it is in the middle of the street because a lot of cars pass over it (heat), cars squeeze it and the wheels grab it (take away). For me it looks rather like "Hm, we need to keep them busy. What else can they do?". Strange, strange. On the photo I tried to catch such a situation.

An Yan's student Huan Yan, 3p, has come today again to the go-school. He played simultaneously against two kids, strong 5 dans, from the go-school. Time limit: 90 minutes sudden death.

For lunch I was invited to join - among others - An Yan, two teachers, Huan Yan. The main "attraction" was a bird that was served on a tablet. On this tablet there was also a glass, and steam came continuously out of this glass. It really looked fascinating. I have not yet discovered how, why, and what for.
