Photos Galore

Have just added lots of pictures in my photo gallery from the Great Wall, Chengde (a town four hours form Beijing and an old imperial summer resort), and 798 (an industrial area turned into hundreds of art galleries here in Beijing).

AspireChoir

Last Sunday saw the grand debut of the AspireChoir, performing at a very reputable establishment called Lush, in Wudaokou, the university area of Beijing. This amazing musical experience was received well by the cheering audience, and gives great promise for a bright future.

Strictly speaking, this magnificent new group already gave some preliminary performances in the hours preceding the concert itself, and were heard singing at various subway stations and on the trains of at least two different Beijing subway lines.

Possibly some Christmas joy was spread, maybe even a few smiles were kick-started, but surely also some faces were turned away in bafflement. Is this some kind of foreign custom we never have heard of??

Anyone living in the vicinity of Beijing and interested in singing, give me a shout ;) This is your big chance to take part in the AspireExperience.
