my thanks go to athine. of course you don't know who athine is, so i will tell you. for the current world urban forum in nanjing, the chinese organizers recruited more than 2000 volunteers, mainly students with a major in english. athine is one of them, and she accompagnied our bus from the airport to the hotel. chatting with her, she gave me the advice to go to zonghuamen early in the morning, where i would find locals doing free air exercises. this way i got the chance for this picture of that girl doing her exercises and getting advice for improvement

china is definitely worth many words, a lot of praise, but i also see the restrictions: numerous blogs i can't read, http://blog.andreas-manessinger.info/ to name just one example. why? i don't know, but china is like this...

I had looked at this facade quite often during day- and nighttimes as the offer a rich play of effects - just see onion spire, reloaded

Whilst the moving body parts in the gym windows of the first floor don't really lend themselves for a (static) photograph, the reflections do so quite well.
