Pimp My Bike
A friend with his “new” bike. His language partner had bought it for 50 Yuan (about 4,50 Euro) and will lend it to him until he leaves.
Ouwen and I had pimped our bikes earlier. In our case it was only the missing air in the tires, this bike needed more care.
Luckily the man near the International Students Building has everything and can fix everything.
The chef of the two restaurants above the dining hall inside the International Students Building and a security guard. The chef has been living in Germany for several years and called the other one “Gestapo” in joke.
One hour and 80 Yuan later.

Opposite to the International Students Building:
Electric Chair
A friend is on the phone. She found a doctor with an “electric chair” that can “heal my sick”. She tried to sit on it and it is “very comfortable” and “a very good chair”. It can “clean our blood”. And it is free.
When you sit on the chair you have “no other feelings”. Today she saw “many, many people sit on the chair, they all say it is very comfortable.” The doctor is in a hospital but “this chair not in a hospital”, outside the hospital in something “like a store”.
“The doctor says it is good for our health and will heal your sick”. I’ll give it a try.
From People's Square to Xinzha Lu
According to a Chinese friend that’s one of the best restaurants around there.
Shanghai Library
China’s largest public library.
The “Rechtshandbuch für Erzieherinnen” (”law guide for educators") should be part of every well-assorted library. ;-)

Xuhui
I’ve never thought these gray trees could ever get green.
Soldier in front of the U.S. Consulate General.
Small house with large garden.
I didn’t know that we were in the street of bonbon. It’ll take more time to get to know the city.
Mr. Snoozleberg
Someone had translated the menu of a restaurant to German. The last line reads: “Guten Appetit wünschen zwei der drei!” Only two of the three want us to enjoy our meal.
“Good Night Mr. Snoozleberg” on a Korean friend’s atree.
Even the waitress and a boy were engrossed.
It took some time to figure out how to get to the next level.
Things at Night
Security framehouse next to the university.
Does anyone have an idea what this is for? There are many bikes like this one around.
In Heping Park, Again
No idea what the man’s doing there. He was holding on to the shrub in a weird position without moving.
My bike outside.
