Okay, we are still here but now we got a major change in our original travelling plans..

Pete decided to go back home this Sunday.. So today, Friday 13th October 2006, we decided to celebrate us travelling together..  In the morning, we took a metro and headed west towards this park which has lakes in it, also we went there to do some morning Zen exercises..

We spended a long time in this park since it was quite big.. We rented a boat to go tour in the lakes.. That was pretty nice, our boat had an electric engine so we could just relax and look around..

You can see the city behind us, it's pretty heavy on smog but there are some really huge buildings around.. Really hard to imagine seeing this kind of buildings in Finland, and neither this much smog.

Lots of people travel around here by bike, and there are separate lanes for cars, bikes and people.. Nobody seems to know anything about overloading a cargo, so seeing this really amused us..

I don't know what they were transporting but that's some big cargo..

Here's a picture of some buildings we saw on our way back from the park.

There's also a lot of traffic, but even though the people drive really nicely, at least comparing to the traffic in Mongolia.. We took a cab to get back to our hostel, we went real slow because we were moving at the same time as people were getting home from work. Our driver was also really tired because while we were waiting for the light to go green, he was dozing.. Luckily we got back in one piece.

In the evening, we went with these two flight instructor fellows to some bars and we had really a lot of fun and managed to talk about lots of things conserning us travelling together..

So everything went well, and we will continue travelling with Joni.
