4 expatriés à Tianjin!

So... yesterday evening we went to this cool bar called the Helen's where loads of foreigners go to take a drink and meet other people... There we met scottish girls ; Dominique, Nicola and Dominique's mother who was there for 3 weeks (the two girls,...

On monday We decided to finally go around the gigantic Park named Zhongshan Park which takes half of the surface of the town (when I say big, it really is). So we took the bus and began to walk through it, even if it seemed at first that everything was...

We woke up early to have a breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, too early I guess... I was really tired and couldn't help but sleep when we returned in the bedroom. When I woke up again (because James couldn't sleep and made noise like hell...) the weather...
