As I am now the Rotaract liaison person for the Beijing Rotary Club I frequently join their meetings.
On 28 August Rotaract organized a relaxed evening in Houhai, dinner at “Lao Han Zi” followed by a one hour boat trip on Houhai Lake. The weather was great for once, not to hot. The Houhai area has become very popular with locals and foreigners alike and being a Saturday evening there large crowds everywhere.

Most fun was to see the typical Chinese chaos with all the boats trying to pass under a bridge, everyone blocking everyone. But our boat guy used his skills to ram his way through (the boat being the biggest one did help…).
I also experimented a bit more with my Panasonic Lumix to make night pictures. Looks like finally I am succeeding.
Peter and his wife also joined, along with Sun and Valerie.
