Sickness

If you are not a firm believer of the term: “Don’t kill the messenger”, and am more fond of Leonides’ approach to bad-news carrying messenger by kicking them into a bottomless well; please do not read the following.

Yet again, I reluctantly inform you that we are trying to get more pictures onto the website; meaning that we haven’t gotten them up yet. This, of course, does not mean that we have stopped taking photos, so as soon as we can drop our technical crutch – you’ll get so many pictures that you’ll achieve the unattainable and grow tired of pictures of us.

Meanwhile, here’s a small snack of what we’ve been up to- which will hopefully convey how busy we’ve been and will give you no other choice, but to shower us with forgiveness for not uploading pictures yet.
We have of course kept ourselves busy with site-seeing. This including the revisit to the Tian An Men – which was Great Success! We even walked through The Forbidden City. It is truly amazing that we can truthfully say; we walked through a city located in the middle of Bei Jing with almost 10,000 rooms, protected by 960x750m of 10m high walls, has been secluded from the rest of the world and exclusive to the royal family for the majority of the past 600 years. (It was actually not exclusive to the royal family; concubines lived there, as well hundreds of eunuch servants – so as to not tempt the women.) So it was also nice to say the penultimate sentence of this paragraph, and then still have fertile male genitalia – except for Anne Mette.

We also spent a whole day at the Great Wall of China. We were specifically at Ba Da Ling, which hosts the highest point of the Great wall. To protect the Chinese from the Huns, the emperors had walls built from east to west China; which was later connected to become a 6700km long defensive entity that doubles as a monument to Chinese history. Science tells us it is an urban myth that the Chinese wall can be seen from space, let alone be the soul man-made structure that can be viewed from out there. If, however, this matter was determined democratically, we would unanimously vote for the Great Wall to be given that title. As we constantly observed and remarked; one could randomly select a spot on the wall which we “conquered”, look in every direction, and still see more of the wall in the distance – it definitely has my vote.

For the past two days, Jesper has been feeling sick to the point where we were convinced he was practicing for the audition of the “Exorcist” remake. So today, we decided to go to a hospital clinic that specializes in bowel disturbances where we, within the hour, received results that he had a parasitic bacteria in his system (which he probably acquired from some food). Part of a fast treatment required him to get a specific anti-biotic in the form of a saline drip stuck into his hand for three-hours. So we got our own room, where half of us retrieved Ipods and books from the hotel (we luckily live very close) along with refreshments (water and McDonald’s[which we also, luckily, live very close to]. Four and a half hours after entering the clinic, we walk out with a healthier Jesper, and a bunch of medicine to make sure he endures that state. The doctor is sure that Jesper will be on his toes and ramming his head into the top of doors before we go to Xi An. According to statistics, it would be anomalistic if neither of us got sick. It is of course not preferable, but we got to experience that part and were all pretty impressed leaving us with the ability to recite – ” Saa har vi gjort det!”

For the next week, we have dedicated ourselves to some hardcore-rest to ensure and achieve an excellent bill of health for when we travel to Xi An, and continue through China. Since we are returning to Bei Jing, we have decided to put off all the tourist activities that we lack till then. For now, we will merely blend in (as well as we can) and just be normal Bei Jing-nites.
Pictures can be anticipated!

    Kære unge mennesker.
    Hvor er det bare for meget, at I er så langt væk og så tæt på.
    Håber, at helbredet holder for jer alle.
    Her hedder den eksamen og skoleårets afslutning og camping.

    Det er godt at høre at Jesper er kommet på højkant igen.
    Vi håber at han er helt OK nu.
    Den sammenligning med en remake fra ‘The exorsist’ gav et glimragende visuelt indtryk af forløbet – godt det er overstået.
    Vi er selvfølgelig også glade for at I andre tre er friske, bortset fra eventuelle selvpåførte skader ved overdreven indtagelse af diverse lokale bryg.
    Når vi nu hører at I vitterlig har været en del rundt som the the ‘Fab tourist Four’, så kan vi efterhånden ikke vente ret meget længere på billeder.
    Selv om beskrivelsen af hvad I har lavet/set er god og informativ.
    Fortsæt med at have det godt og pas på hinanden.

    PS: Vi har lige læst at i Kina er alt der uploades (og downloades) kontrolleret i hoved og hale for politisk eller pornografisk indhold. Det er måske derfor det tager en evighed at uploade.
    Kinesiske børn i Bejing får udleveret klippekort, så de kun kan være på nettet et vist antal timer om dagen og hvis de overskrider denne grænse, inddrages kortet så de er blacklistet i en periode. Det er ifølge JP, men er det rigtigt?

    Hi guys! Well done!! So now you’ve experienced the Great Russia, hope that you like it, moreover now you just might understand those crazy Russians better (i’m mostly talking about Ruslan of course, Руль, не обижайся:)). Hope that you’ll have a great experience in the wonderful China, it sounds as if you’re having a lot of fun! Take care!

    Uh vi er kommet videre.. Vi er nu i Xian, hvor vi har fundet en netcafe, hvor vi kan uploade vores billeder. Eneste problem er bare, at vi har rigtig mange billeder. Saa forvent at det kommer til at tage et par dage af faa det hele op.

    Kaere Loco Daisy og Incomplex Simon,
    Dack Jun holder faktisk rekorden i at blive blacklistet flest gange som er brought to you by falske navne.
    Har i hvert fald ikke hoert om klippekortet, ingen har i hvert fald introduceret konceptet for min chat-glade mindre-aarig kusine.

    Kære Anne Mette.
    Tak for kortet, det kom hurtigt til Danmark. Det lader til, at
    I har det skønt, bliv ved med det. Jeg håber at det, jeg skriver kommer frem, for jeg fumler stadjg med pc-en.
    Det går fremad med helbredet, men laaaaangsomt.
    KH og knus Farmor.
    Hilsen til alle.
