back from the south

i just got back to Beijing after ten days in the south. Beijing feels more grey and rough than ever.It's cold already , i have to buy gloves for riding my bike and to organize my days according to the temperature.
When we were in Shenzhen and Guangzhou , Chen Xiongwei was cursing all the time at "beifangren" (northern people) saying they were rude, unpolite, uneducated and lazy, that they didn't know how to do business, blablabla... it was funny ,like his southern roots came back all at once with the moist and the green surrounding us.it was like all of sudden he realised the life style he lost when he moved to Beijing: the flip flap shoes attitude, the slowly but surely way of doing things, the amazing food, the organic and busy street life with its little shops: drink shops, flower shops,fruit shops, oysters stalls,meat sticks stalls,late hour munchies food stalls etc...
it is true that southern China has an amazing rythm. people seem to always be doing something that makes its little sense in the long life chain, there are a lot of people in the streets, less space than in Beijing but all motions are quite fluid.
Back to Beijing, it feels like the hibernation time is close and that this olympic summer counted for nothing...we're going to go through this dark and dry season wearing long johns and watching dvds and then we'll be in 2009, a year that doesn't predict to be an easy one when you work in culture (why did i chose to do this in China, i'm so stupid)
as a matter of fact, not a long ago i and other organiser friends suddenly realized that it would be the 20th anniversary of TianAnmen's incidents in 1989 + the 60 years of PRC....
This predicts a lot of paranoia (again), and a high probability to have a sort of giant curfew on everything like they're able to do here as soon as the public order is concerned...
if it really turns out this way (which is very possible) I MOVE SOUTH!!!!!!
