We searched for our subject: her name is Lyu Yu, she's a doctor, she's been living in the Netherlands for 16 years. Lyu comes from the southern part of China, she speaks Dutch and English very fluently and she's been very kind and smiley with us. As many of the other owners of shops in Chinatown, she's not living close to the shop. (in the street most inhabitants are dutch.).We filmed the shop for a couple of hours being impressed by the amount of people entering it. Today was also the Chinese New Year, and a parade with fireworks and dancing dragons took place in the street. </span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8122048619769007175-3438681878543971952?l=urbanbodygroup1.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Federico T.noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122048619769007175.post-77146653516669867182007-02-17T12:39:00.000-08:002008-11-12T18:09:02.201-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yzwqp-gDUyM/RddqVkHhuII/AAAAAAAAABQ/ed2r2_cZaV4/s1600-h/DSCN4762.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 190px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yzwqp-gDUyM/RddqVkHhuII/AAAAAAAAABQ/ed2r2_cZaV4/s320/DSCN4762.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032608027314862210" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Beijing</span>: we need a sponsorship for our workshop.</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">How much</span>: 12000 euro would be helpful</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">N° of companies</span>: 325</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Taskforce</span>: 9 people</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">What</span>: collecting addresses, fold, close and then send letters</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Status</span>: Done</span> <span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">....waiting for reply...</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8122048619769007175-7714665351666986718?l=urbanbodygroup1.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Federico T.noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122048619769007175.post-41532435373580870502007-02-17T12:21:00.000-08:002008-11-12T18:09:02.345-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yzwqp-gDUyM/RddnpUHhuGI/AAAAAAAAAA8/ViO2mE_-Kpk/s1600-h/DSCN4765.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 199px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Yzwqp-gDUyM/RddnpUHhuGI/AAAAAAAAAA8/ViO2mE_-Kpk/s320/DSCN4765.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032605068082395234" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >On Friday we had our first short presentation of the mapping exercise.
