Tsinghua University

Here are some pictures of this week... On Tuesday, the cultural event of the Symposium : Tsinghua University's orchestra. The program consisted of both chinese and european classical music. For some surprising reason I enjoyed more the chinese part, but I think that mostly had to do with the interpretation of Berlioz and Tchaikovski...

I did not go to the small Great Wall excursion (900 scientists, 20 buses, bad weather...). There are already some nice pictures of it on this blog :-D. Yesterday was the banquet, in the "small" ballroom of Beijing grand hotel.

Unfortunately I had my talk in the next morning, so I could not abuse of the wine. It was not too hard, as I had never had such a bad wine (I might be exagerating a bit). And they said it was French. I would say it was a cheap copy...

And this picture is for the best readers of the blog... I took it 30 min before my talk, that went well btw.

I'll try to publish some more pictures this weekend, now is time for celebration, I am staying here until Sunday!!
