Insert for Carcassonne Board Game | Carcassonne's Duke Organizer | Carcassonne + Expansions Storage Solution Upgrade Thank God for a very patient waitress, who first off tried to communicate using language (not possible - we just kept saying, 'Hello, thank you, thank you') and then writing (not possible, we had only figured out one Mandarin character which was 'Men' - not as in Men, but as in Tiana-MEN... we didn't even know what it meant, so pretty useless), and then by Lonely Planet guidebook language glossary. Equally admirable is that Sheppard and French have time for the Chinese characters, like Detective Han and the others. They come across as hard-working, industrious and trying to carry on amidst the growing chaos of China. In fact, it is the Westerners who seem exotic and mad - a nice inversion of many books on China.

We saw the stadium (under construction) from the train. Maybe the excitement is catching and that's why Beijing was so amazing to me, I'm not sure. Jaysus, there's so much to say about Beijing that I'm going to make a separate entry - otherwise I'll fall asleep at the keyboard. The death of Pamela Werner seems to be one. The 20-year-old college student, was murdered and dumped below the old walls of Beijing on a cold night in 1937. The killing filled the city’s foreign community, already on edge over the growing Japanese army to the north, with dread. She had been mutilated. Someone had slashed at her over and over again, broken her ribs outward with great force and cut out her heart. The murder has never been solved. It has spawned two very good and very different books. Of course the buildings are amazing - a complete mixture of brand spanking new commercial high-rise, traditional world heritage historical buildings and crowded Hutongs (these are street upon feng shui street of tiny terraced cottages where selling - food, trades, clothes, bags, DVDs, electrical equipment, souveniers, calligraphy, art, more food, anything you can imagine - is the name of the game).

Another reason to love Chinese food, apparently in a tea house or eating noodles, the messier the better - 'no noise, no taste.' The vertical climb to the Great Wall looked easier from the bottom - did someone say cable car?said, Dad would be very popular here), self-sufficient (this is a real entrepreneurial place with trades of all descriptions being plied in every nook and cranny across the city). And as for the food...

Alan remarked that disobeying road signals augmented in direct proportion with the distance we get from home, and I have to agree. I thought the driving in St. Petersburg was crazy, but nothing like Beijing. The wall snakes over hilltops and into the cloudsjust gave up and went off, in search of food for us, we hoped. The Chinese detective game: lead your investigation and solve the puzzles that will lead you to the culprit. We played this for the first time today and absolutely loved it. Better with more players for sure. The rules seems complicated at first but once you have am initial run through and grasp how everything works it's not that difficult. Really good fun and every game is different. Highly recommend it.
