I went out of the house, walking through the sun I smelled something familiar. It reminded me of spring in Teheran. There’s lots of similarities between Teheran and Beijing. Not only the masses, traffic and polution, but there’s the dry weather, workers watering the greens and flowers in spring and lots of small details that kind of subconciously make me like this city even more. Not many people see these simliarities, but even chinese and persian culture have lots of things in common. Is Beijing maybe the Teheran I always wanted?

It’s been more than 5 weeks since I moved here and I know it’s also been nearly a month since my last real post on this site. We took lots of pictures, but most of them are inside of restaurants. Seems like the only thing we’re doing these days is working, sleeping and – on weekends – watching movies and trying out nice food places – doesn’t sound very interesting, but it’s been relaxing and fun. I’ve also been cooking a bit more these days.

As for gongfu, it kind of looks like my blog activity. First I was busy, then I was lazy and now I got problems with my wrist, but I’m planning on definitely starting training in May! – I promise ;)
