Knee Ankle Foot Orthosis

Farewell and closing adjustment


At 9.30 am this past Saturday, a blue day, windy and sandy, ten Chinese soldiers have been red to collect all my belongings and take them to Spain. The process that both terrified me almost a month has been pretty painless and say that I almost enjoyed. Each team member had a particular task: the one devoted to the little details, a man who enjoyed wrapping small pans, ceramic figurines and even some soups on was in the cupboard, which was carrying furniture , stout and resolute man, very rough in my opinion, has picked up tables and comfortable chairs and shouting "here I come" his way through his fellow road to the street, another is devoted to clothing, grabbed my underwear and wrapped handfuls big role, two others who were in the yard doing messing brown cardboard boxes for each piece as , others who were in a back and forth traffic of the main street carrying boxes to the truck, and the supervisor, the friendly face that gives you peace, who actually was more tense than I, because I thought we were going to overcome 12 cubic meters we had expected.




and myself, sitting in a chair rusty Shanghainese ending the 50 read my book for that Soseki I could carry on moving (and yes, I've done, "I am a cat", great book I enjoyed every second book that I laughed out loud, brilliant work, and in my humble opinion similar to humor of Russian writers, but in the Meiji era and Japan, I think that's why I liked it so much). There was, on a chair hung a note reading "To move" which meant that at any moment arise and lead to the truck. He even made jokes I putting another sticker on the front to take me overseas as well, they laughed. And they laughed when they saw the number of Chinese who wanted to carry objects me to Spain.




Actually I think they liked to appreciate both the "China" and the rustic it was all in my home: two on jade seals, one with my name, another of Darius and mine, a wooden fish, Buddhist musical instrument, a tin chamber pot, two pans of iron painted in colors, a giant thermos for hot water, the legendary three monkeys (see no, hear no, do not talk), a fish jade, some paints Chinese characters, Chinese shadow puppets, two stuffed pigs dressed in Revolutionary Guards, a porcelain vase bought at an antique, a piece tile we took the graves of the concubines of the Qing dynasty, a mirror of the cultural revolution, several photos of the same time, a small kite stuck in a box, trunk ancient Chinese hand-painted, an apron of the region Guizhou, a cruet (the one used here every day to dress their jiaozis or dumplings or boiled dumplings as my mother would say), and so on.




When you have gone the house has remained empty until the echo resounded as he spoke. I sat on the couch to put the home, take me some instant noodles, which thankfully with three envelopes based dressing glutamate and concentrated meat on the box includes plastic folding fork, because they have not missed a sudden I've seen cubierto.De sucking and doing the classic sound to make rich oriental dish. And I realized that this transformation in my person and manners meant the climax of my stay in China, and which I could return calm to the old Europe.




My back has suffered so much in the last week has seen a considerable improvement in the last box has gone out the door, I've grown two inches of a sudden. Be a continuous spiral with the house on his back is painful, I have three years and three removals. See what I played in the coming years, but for now Madrid paints a season. I am now in a cafe in the neighborhood, I collected my last revealed and I think tonight I'll be bored at home. I have no DVD or the Internet, I have only read two books which try to extend finite during the week that lies ahead of me in the cave house. Rico boredom.

When Does A Ringworm Heal




I be without identity "legal"

- A) I have my ID expired. I realized when I started to compile my contract documentation for English and moving more. I request electronic appointment and hopefully in a month and a half will be
attended
- B) I have my driver's license expired. It is currently under renovation but I have no steering wheel or proof, and only a letter from the consulate to me that Madrid have sent all the papers.

- C) I discharged at the consulate in Beijing, which not belong here or there. On arrival at Madrid I go to register.

- D) I do not know what my homestead in the coming years.
As modern life requires me, when I get to Madriz I have to do urgent processing of A) and C), although it will be an address provisional. Posteriormente, cuando me acomode en mi futura casa hoy desconocida y si quisiera cumplir con la ley, debería comenzar de nuevo con ambos procesos para dar mi dirección permanente. Y además, si en algún momento vital cambio de estado civil, al menos el procedimiento C) debería hacerse una vez más.

Pues eso, que ahora mismo soy un cuasi ser.

Recuerdo la película de Brazil, de Terry Gilliam. Me encuentro en un no parar de ir y venir a las distintas ventanillas gubernamentales, en un enfrentamiento diario con la burocracia, "la jaula de hierro", el Red Tape . En mi correo tengo una carpeta que así se llama, Red Tape expression in English to refer to the wonderful world of negotiations and proceedings. Red Tape lately is on top of entries.
Meanwhile constantly filling forms for requests for appointment and as many papers to move my goods travel by sea for a month. Right now I am with the syndrome are not home, and I have the permanent impulse buy all sorts of household goods. If I have no home at least I have the objects that compose it. Content continent.

To the delight of myself, my current home (the beloved hutong) has been visited by potential tenants about five times this weekend, tired already act as real estate consultant. Always the same questions:
- And how is living in a hutong?
Answer: it's not bad. Has its advantages and disadvantages. It all depends on what you are looking
What I would like to say but do not say what kind of question is that? Did not you who comes to see him? Is it because you care and you know what is right? Well, see, live at ground level, grassland heating costs, residents throw garbage on the street, at night there are vermin that scratch the roof, my fear of spiders has disappeared by repeated shock therapy, the bathroom is wet ... But me and my boyfriend we like, because it compensates the morning sun coming through the window, because we love the dogs in the neighborhood because the area is quiet and is in the geographical center of Beijing, because we are geeks, because we like to have a tele-Cretaceous, and because we do not care which within a radius of five kilometers is impossible to find bread, cheese or tomato sauce.
- How long have you lived here?
Answer: one year but in Beijing three years-plus.
- What do you live alone?
Answer: yes now. My boyfriend has been gone for two weeks because you've encountered a sudden. (Given the response I often see eyes in disbelief, I sense that people think I have invented an imaginary boyfriend to not recognize my loneliness and give no penalty in the hutong).
- And what is the nearest metro?
Answer: Andingmen a 15 minute walk or Beixingqiao another fifteen minutes.
And then, once satisfied his desire to know they go through the door wondering if life in the hutong their bodies would be suitable for the highlands. Because if you are looking for a gym and a swimming pool in the neighborhood are ready ...
stress I have, yes.

Headache Vision Changes Swollen Feet

Charter Ready Old World


Yesterday I went to see the opera Turandot, Don myself with my imagination. This was our farewell joint plan of Beijing, and eventually I had to go alone. The contingencies of life, how you can change a plan for future overnight. So come and play problems and accept them. And to be strong.
cycles: one came to Beijing and Beijing I leave alone.
In Madrid I expect our new home, our new life, my new job.

me in Beijing are the successive bounces, moves more (moving, shopping ..), recent photos, recent trips, visits to my favorite restaurants, the latest discoveries (I was cycling yesterday fighting laziness and cold to the neighborhood of Hepingli, pleasant discovery, the archetype of neighborhood Peking).

Many of my friends have gone, that makes everything a little easier and more depressing. These days I see the city from another perspective, new feelings and experiences.

Noto as time goes much faster now than some years ago, I most certainly do. Three years resemble my six months in London five years ago.

Do Women Prefer Mens Privates Shaved?




began to take stock of these unusual three-year peak in Beijing. Now that I'm off my head starts to develop a self-defense mechanism is to see the negative aspects of my beloved hated Beijing:
- A backlog worse every day, five million cars and seven million in 2015, according to the Government.
- Pollution: Saturday reached level 5, in which health authorities recommend not leaving the house. We who are in the preparatory steps of back, we were almost all day on the street. On Sunday I had a headache and was feeling sick as if a hangover (a year ago that I do not smoke nor drink because I developed an allergy to alcohol a little sinister.)
- transport: the subway at rush hour is packed, literally. Sometimes I have to wait up to three trains to climb, despite the work of the pushers.
- traditional neighborhoods and the imminent destruction: too many to absorb changes in a person like me who treasure every detail. It is too much for me.

other hand, the dawn in my hutong on a sunny day is priceless. Despite the damp, vermin night sleeping in my patio, gutters to the front door full of noodles and waste and all sorts of discomforts point. What most miss is my neighborhood Gulou, the shopkeeper who lives in a hovel with his wife and baby, always with a smile that I fix the bike, the Pekingese dogs in the neighborhood, jiaozis our favorite restaurant, my Rui friend with whom I make the prints in black and white, Chinese modernillo store photos, music Kuzi Xin (although the CD I take them) ...

And great friends counted on the fingers of one hand.
And the constant learning that leaves me brain fried every day.

And the stinky tofu and egg millennium.

Everyone looks to China, but I will not stay in the race. I decided to buck the trend. When I had no goals, and now I have been met.
I have luck.

Does It Get Dry Around Your Period

The beginning of the end

end my days in Beijing. In Beijing. In Peking.

I'm beginning to feel the nostalgia. This would be my fourth winter here, maybe too many.

New life in old Europe.

Can Macbook Run .mkv Files?

Back to work


Nearly two weeks since I landed in Beijing, 90% humidity and heat atrocious.


A pleasure to enjoy and share with good friends a little bit of my life here. Alice's hutong is full for holidays, more alive than ever, both human and animal. Cats and beetles, my friends and laughter.


Madrid never forget you.


PS And tomorrow at Luoyang, the Paris of China as a friend told me.

Do Dogs Get Herpes In Their Lips?

Letter to the wealthier eastern

Dear Chinese:

I love a lot but sometimes this is too much for me. I'll come back soon. Ya, I know you have not asked, but the Europeans are like that, wanting to speak and understand.

Seven days without seeing the sun has been hard, but I've seen that in Spain plays map filled with fried eggs for the next two weeks. A terrace cut into a neighborhood, with its metal chair and table. Oh, and a propaganda Mahou umbrella if possible.

and your luggage without.

Enjoy these days without me, and please do not be led by the total consumption. I leave one of your favorite quotes, your latest slogan: "I prefer to mourn in a BMW to laugh on a bicycle."

Very well, enjoy it.

Bump Head Fish Orange And White




Go
football world cup. At half past two there might not follow, and less in this heat. I am forced to watch a replay of the day after. This is my soccer off the other day I was watching my football laogong Brazil-Ivory Coast, we believe ourselves that it was a quarterfinal match ("You have to see how far we have come this Ivorians.") The next day, so proud of myself, I commented at the office "You saw the game yesterday?, Go beat up and go goals from Brazil", in short, my compilation of the day could not believe my life fogging. "But girl, if that party was the first round."

Yes folks, that's me, that's us as a couple of hermits in our hutong, a neighborhood where people take to the road bed to sleep in the cool (some even wrapped in a mosquito net resembling a giant chrysalis). Summer nights with night walks as if we were in town. Commenting with neighbors, each sitting on banquetilla at the door of his house.

(Conversation in Chinese, translated into Castilian for more or less ... although the accent could use more manchego the hair)
- Hale, back to home
- Yes, yes, back
- A enjoy at night, now it's cool!
- That, that. Good night.
- Hala lads!

Obviously, the young men we are.

flying in a week to Madriz, and then Santa Cruz, and then Valencia.

Viva!

PS. Happiness has a name, and called bread and butter in a plane.

Ovoo Doesnt Detect Camera

Summer Dream


A tour different from the hand of my mother, visiting a Beijing tourist less frequented by hordes of tourists.

The old summer palace with its ruins of palaces French between giant lotuses, the temple of the five pagodas and silence, the bamboo park and Gucheng sounds, the temple of Maitreya Buddha Tanzhe and smile infinite. And today

solstice, and summer arrives, it's official, and my house, being hutong, being on the ground, having gray brick, having roof, being Pingfang, having a bodhi tree at the door , so it is cooler than the whitewashed houses of La Mancha, if possible.

Application Of Law Of Sine & Cosine

More life

Saturday
office to enjoy four consecutive days of vacation after by the famous Dragon Boat Festival.


I stay in Beijing next to my parents, who like a good pilgrim comes once a year to China, and Sun Wukong was traveling west to India in search of Buddhist scriptures, my mother flies in British traveling east to China in search of her daughter and new experiences. Because each year is a new neighborhood, a new home and neighbors increasingly people. The center of Beijing, and there are few, those who are in their pajamas to buy tomatoes in the truck of vegetables.
I'm getting older, not gray, that these are from my 17, but by the conception of time. The course of a year is no longer an abyss, and the various cycles go faster and faster, but always new. Again summer seasons, walks the cool night, holidays at sea, an old car in Madrid over six years now, is it too much? is it enough? Wait a few more years and I look very little. Friends, life, the past we have, those who stayed, those who choose, those who want. The shamelessness, the more self-confidence, accountability, workload. Family.

The North Face Denali Jacket Petite Small

Guizhou


Today in the office staring at the gray sky, and two days ago on the road with a bus about two feet from me. Beijing Bicycle is what you have, going 15 km per day between round cake multiply the chances of the firm. Just as it does to live another day, new chances of so many misfortunes.

also a miracle that we are well. Life even more eager, if possible. My life as a yuppie hysteria with the spirit of an artist, as my beloved Don.

Icc Hair Colour Chart

not cry, the people in Anhui


And his toughness. Five days of stomach pain similar to that suffered two years ago in Risikesh.
And five days of discovery: the ethnic Dong, Miao, yi (I left 40-odd ethnic groups without knowing more, is what has Guizhou); his clothes, towels on the head everywhere, women carrying children and octogenarians alike chickens. The China authentic, unspoiled by tourists. Heavy industries in the green mountains, coal mines, brick factories, wooden houses, rice fields, the smell of manure, symbiotic oxen with his bird on his back. Rivers and canyons, and people living in the water.

Kaili, Shidong, Shiqiao, Qong'an, Matang, Langde, Qingman, Xijiang, and other towns along the way lost, nameless. Villages where residents whose last name is Chen and all the doors are written in chalk the profession Chen distinguishes them from next door, so they will mail. Incomprehensible dialects. Beautiful embroidery, silk and natural dyes of blue, mostly blue. A lively town, celebrating festivals throughout the year and animal sacrifice for good crops.

Guizhou, the poorest region of China that many Chinese know that even in the office asked me why would I want to go there. They do not understand anything. Here in the big city and only care about money, brands, and ascend. Climb and climb to the summit. And then what. The abyss.

And these are the Beijing today, with their rich and poor. High Contrast perhaps ever more pronounced. And so one day happen to Guizhou, when tourism grows and people move from agriculture to services, to create parks rigor tourist attraction, with its papier-mache bull wheel and that explains in a plate the customs of yesteryear. Where a man sitting with his costume acrylic pastor engaged in selling the tickets and then sell out women shirts and embroidery industry. Is what you get, good, bad, better, worse, we tend to. Survival fulfilled a range of possibilities to define us to each: the geek, the religious, the artist, businessman, good father, the depressive, the traveler, the philosopher, the cooperator, the envious, the ambitious, the speculator, the preacher.
And I am improving. Living in my country house, living with unimaginable size beetles, sweeping my patio on the weekends and going to market to fill eggplant, potatoes and tomatoes from my bike basket. Today
plays squash cream, vegetable neither hot nor cold medicine as far as China is concerned, warm, perfect for seasonal changes. Purchase based on the market, nature is wise. How sad that today has made us both forget gases which plays at all times. Wrong Very bad.

X Rocker Gaming Chair



The festival of Qingming in is a bit like the All Saints Day in Spain (also called Sha Mu, which means to sweep tombs). Although the practice of traditional rites is banned by the government, the party is held to honor the ancestors, although in theory not allowed to do what many Chinese are doing, especially in the towns (we have witnessed in our journey through the villages of Anhui). Several days a year in which the Chinese remember their ancestors and must render any kind of respect and honor. Burn money, houses, clothes, everything from paper to send to relatives in the afterlife and does not lack anything. For the people Hongcun, Xidi and Shexian, the grandparents could see burning the papers in brass burners. I saw something similar in Beijing in October (on the first day of the lunar calendar), when I started to get cold and many crossroads of the city, in every corner, you saw people burn paper clothing send to their families (tai leng le), to explain why I said that winter was coming and their dead relatives were also warm. The papers are burned in a circle drawn on the floor with water, which is not completely closed, so that the spirits, to leave and enter.

Other interesting chapters of our trip in Anhui, the increase from five hours to the Yellow Mountain is about the least exciting. I stand with the people and the hard lives, the deep and rough China, travel to a village horrible buggy, with a walled area more remarkable. With students who invite us to their school. The restaurants with the fresh catch of the day right at the entrance of the rabbit, owl, snake, hedgehog, turkey, doves, frogs. One side by side, each in its cage or bowl, waiting to be skinned or plucked by touch and cooked in a wok seasoned with pepper and sesame oil.

High Ast And Monocyte Levels

Qingming



Each week learning in one on one with my Chinese teacher in the ongoing cultural clash with my office mates, sealed them, paranoid me, cooking and Chinese food, science from the supermarket, the science of grandmothers, cineforum exciting every night. Alice and the Mad Hatter, eighty cents, row 10, focusing on a white sofa facing south, back in a hutong in the Dongcheng district, which threatens to be torn down by order of the Government and to create a mythical terra, with shopping and compulsive shoppers.
What was the Tivoli, the Benlliure or John of Austria? Few cinemas and in Madrid, Where will go mops and pans, brick houses, their neighbors, the ethos and the pathos of the neighborhood? In the whole city, these houses full of pots, dishes, oil smell, urinals, giant cabbages, thermoses, cups of brass. Disappear, for me and for all, the neighborhood surrounding the bell and drum, the heart of the city. Stops, and with it the hard lives, the curiosity of those who want to know and learn more. No turning back, no time for melancholy, and my neighbors say octogenarians, who ride a bike every day to go to the vegetable market and bring home the leeks and ginger and meat with worms.
a different year than last and this to the above. A great weekend get-together with the ambassador of a great country with a English philosopher (he my master) and one Canadian, one Greek to know my name I grab the strong hand to hear a name that sounds both home , home, Aleceia and my mother taught me, true means ... Lunch magical diplomatic residence, built in the years of the GDR, with its parquet floors and leather sofas, carpets and walls filled with giants of paintings, sculptures and life. A familiar smell, that of my aunt's house in the park, swim in the pool and tea with cake from the bakery fambruesas Hungarian, eternal afternoons until that leaves the sun, about eight o'clock, when the bathing suit still wet, we returned to the mother and two daughters at home in mom's car.

And while here, walks every week to 798, new projects that develop with my two cameras at the back. Hoping to repeat the experience of the dark room with dim red light. Yesterday

forgot all my notes in a Chinese supermarket. I'm on the verge of collapse ...

Snow, snow and snow. March February January December November October, when it came to pass when the first snowfall. Five months with its 150 days and cold below zero degrees I and I can hardly bear. We are strong, we berries and restorative tea. My body holds up well but I do not know how long. Today I took one and a half until I reached the office of the winds.

Weekend has been helpful, with the discovery of new library and film library included. How you learn to appreciate each of these little things in this city more and more inhospitable.

Keratosis Pilaris Diagram

gong xi gong xi Gong xi not! Today


Ahhhhhh, now sound of firecrackers ... I wonder if this year we will have a new building in flames, clear example of ephemeral architecture.

Here comes the Tiger, stomping. Farewell to the ox and his burden. Year of not stopping, a thousand courses to the hearing, the Chinese pro level, the kitchen and photos. And so I follow the Chinese calendar, I got to the pig, which soon became the rat, ox was then and is now tiger. Maybe not already to see the rabbit, who knows, not here, but in Lavapies.
I've done my own revealed, our furniture and paintings. Our hutong house is worth seeing and being seen, naranjito plant and ladder to the terrace, spiders everywhere and neighbors who were once red guards. More I can not ask for myself. Pekingese dogs that roam freely between noodles and drains clogged with men in pajamas with slippers doraemon.

Let everyone happy as much as possible. Hu hu wei sheng.
A Taiwan me go and no one will.
