Irene Ioannidou
- Architect -
I would like another month or so to feel full.
To find the courage to dare to try fried scorpions in a straw, to place an order in Chinese with the waiter understanding what it is I want to eat (!), to get used to the taste of bottled water.
To play the Chinese chess, Xiangqi, in the park once I am done with the morning tai chi exercises - always of course with the view of the lifted blouses and the accompaniment of the spitting Chinese.
Moments of magic were our efforts to rest on the amphitheater steps at the entrance of the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, the two imperious shoulders I held for support in order to conquer the 474 meters of the Shanghai World Financial Center, the Hutongs, the Pudong, the dance of chasapiko in the Great Wall of China.
As much as my feet got tired from walking, just as much did my mind take a rest.
All 51 of them where exquisite!
A question for the end, can anyone recall the Chinese name of our guide, Joey?
