- -walk along a river- Qi told us there was a river in the back of this building. Qi said we could take a walk along the river then we could went back to beagin our barbeque on the balcony. That sounded interesting. We all agreed with him. So we left Qi's house as soon as we finished our dinner. Qi led us to walk under the dim street lights. We changed our directions several times. I felt a little dizzy. This was the first time I walk there. I had been living and working in Beijing for three years. But I still could not distinguish the directions when I left. Now I lost the sense of direction again. Finally we arrived at the front of a wall. Qi told us there was a hole on the wall before,and went across the hole we could be by the river. ...

- -during the dinner- Qian had finished his cooking before we finished watching the movie. We had to shut down the TV and helped Qian to take the dishes out of the kitchen. We set a table in the sitting room and put the dishes on it. Everyone were in great admiration to the dishes. Qian was satisfied. We said he was really a decent family man. I almost forget that Qian let me saw his photo on his marriage license when we were in the bus on the road to Yanjiao. He told me that his girl friend and him has registered,they had got the marriage license. I said congratulations to him. He said that he would inform me their wedding time. Qian was the first guy among us who was going to be married. I was happy for him. Let's go back to ...

- -before the dinner- We arrived at Yanjiao district about 4:30 pm. Qi told us that we would make our dinner by ourself. Qian added that each of us should take out his own special dish. So we must buy what we need for our recipes. I was ashamed that I couldn't cook at all. I told them I could not cook like them. They said that that's ok. I could just eat and drink. So we went to a composite market. It was a very big market. We went to the Vegetable Section first. We bought some green peppers,eggplants,carots and corns. Then we came to Flesh Section to buy some meats,pork ribs and many lamb shashliks. We also bought some charcoal and condiments. Finally we bought a case of beer. Actually I didn't like to drink beer. White wine was my cup ...

- -In the bus- We left GUOMAO bus station for Yanjiao district by suburb-bus. In the bus no815,we were happy. The bus was passing the suburb. I looked outside through the window. There were many farmlands beside the highway. It has been a long time since I last went to suburb. I was feeling great. Both of Cao and Qian were Beijingers. They began to talk about a famous flea market in Beijing. They got very excited. They spoke loudly. It was very quiet in the bus. Many passengers closed their eyes and rested. There were only two persons talking in the bus. All the passengers listened to them. I knew it's also been a long time since they talked to each other. What they were talking about was so funny that Qi and I could not stop laughing. ...

Then I took train to Beijing South Station.Then I went to GUOMAO bus station by subway.We planned to get together there. Finally we was going to Yanjiao,where one of my friends was living in,by bus. It was rainy in Tianjin when I was leaving. But there were many girls walking in the subway station in Beijing with short skirts. I thought that maybe it was warm outside. That day was satuaday. Many people went out for traveling.It was very crowded in the subway station. But most of the passengers were still,needless to say,office workers. They walked very fast. But their clothes were refi ...
