Ben's basement

Yesterday I discovered one fun party place, called Benjamin's Basement. There was never ending beer, nice table with shisha, with cozy chairs around, fun music, and many many people. I met there Markus, the guy who quit his job in Bolzano in order to travel to China and Japan. After spending 3 month there he is back. He told me some stories and advice about China, which hopefully, will be useful in the future. One frustrating advice was to learn Chinese numbers, those people mostly do not use Arabic number system, but rather some kind of tricky Chinese characters. I just took a look of them, very challenging... I do not think it is possible to learn something like that, i will print a table of those symbols better and carry it with me and then compare symbol by symbol.

I tried to learn Chinese once only to find out that this is possible only if you're forced to under the threat of death by some higher power ^^
