Even aan de wandel in de universiteitstuin. Verderop waren de studenten bezig met een soort van ontgroeningsspelletjes, prima entertainment voor het voorbij wandelende publiek.
Made in China > don’t buy save the earth
27 OctPlease do not buy made in China!
Why: China’s output China’s GDP per unit of energy use (PPP $ per kg of oil equivalent) is very bad!
GDP per unit of energy use is the PPP GDP per kilogram of oil equivalent of energy use. PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to current international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as a U.S. dollar has in the United States.the Netherlands $8,5 per kg oil China only $3. Which means they pollute 2 to 3 times more per GDP dollar! Per GDP $ needs 3 times more water than the Netherlands, this results in the fact that water levels are down and Beijing will not be able to provide water to it’s population with 10 years from now (WW3?).
This results in horrible air quality (a visualization) > ttp://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/a-stunning-visualization-of-chinas-air-pollution/259455/
our daily live is affected, today again an in door day (PM 2.5) above 300 AGAIN
So think about this when you buy made in China, you become polluter yourself while saving a few buggs!
This is the result: (5 out of 30 days we have the upper picture)
Don’t worry we can be happy that we don’t live further south near the world production cities like Chongqing and Guangzhuo!
Yúan Ming Yuán
23 Oct
Het oude zomer paleis op een zondag met zeldzaam veel regen… Zeker een keer terug met mooi weer.
The Old Summer Palace, known in Chinese as Yuan Ming Yuan (the Gardens of Perfect Brightness), and originally called the Imperial Gardens, was a complex of palaces and gardens in Beijing. It is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northwest of the walls of the Imperial City, built in the 18th and early 19th century, where the emperors of the Qing Dynasty resided and handled government affairs (theForbidden City was used for formal ceremonies).
In 1860 during the Second Opium War, two British envoys, a journalist for The Times and their small escort of British and Indian troopers met with the Royal Prince to negotiate. They were imprisoned and tortured, resulting in twenty deaths.[1][2] The British High Commissioner to China, Lord Elgin, retaliated by ordering the destruction of the palace, which was then carried out by British and French troops.
Voor deze ruïnes moeten we nog een keer terug…

20 OctDe botanische tuinen aan de voet van fragrant hills, de bergent ten westen van Beijing. Dik uur rijden maar dan heb je ook wat! Vrij uitzicht én natuur. Nog net kunnen kijken hoe mooi de chinezen het park hadden aangeharkt voor de oktobervakantie. Bloemstukken all over the place. Misschien ook voor die gelegenheid de goudvissenpopulatie wat opgepimpt…enigzins druk in het water…
