Last week, I visited the Tiananmen Square with a visitor I had from Germany. The result:

1. I have two new best friends, who wanted to learn English and show us the city (refused of course)
2. two Chinese girls, to whom I had to read a few English sentences to train their listening comprehension. They could not reply to any sentence: my comment: “没有通过” (you did not pass).
3. one Chinese who wanted to take a picture of us with our camera
4. a few tour guides who wanted to sell us trips to the Great Wall of China
5. a guy who wanted to sell us his rickshaw (do you want to buy my rickshaw?)
6. a few souvenir sellers
7. at the end I was really a little disappointed but then, they finally came, the arts students who wanted to show us an arts exhibition because it was the last day of the exhibition.

Sometimes, I really doubt, if entries posted by users in our events section really have something to do with China. This time, I decided not to delete the entry of a swimming school in Cologne (Germany) because there is a flood in South China.
