ijspret in Hou Hai, Beijing

The weather in Beijing has been nice. Today it is -9 degrees and a bit windy, also no snow yet. The wind comes from the huge avenues and highways that cross the city, and is quite awful. Anyways, we had some good fun today on the ice. Hou Hai is a small pond/lake surrounded by cheap Westernised bars.

We went ice skating today with some friends (see pics)

For rent were all kinds of unusual 'vehicles' including this bicycle, welded 'ice ready'


Without embarrassment did some people poke and peddle around the ice, looking kind of dumb...
Latest shopping in hand, this man couldn't resist having some fun on the ice

That 'car' runs on an electric engine! It was zooming around the skating people
Caramel candy
This man made us one: a dog & snake, as my birth year is the year of the dog and my girlfriend's is snake. It took him about 3 minutes to craft a beautiful looking piece of work.


The end result; made of only sugar!
