I rearley go to the parties, but this one was really impresive: I realize how many europeans work in China, especially in diplomatic positions!

some moments from this party I manage to keep it for the future...

First - the welcome ceremony..

A great green garden, in a very quaiet ``corner`` in Beijing center!!!

The EU ``Ambasador``, singing for all the guests

and the belgian ambasador (?)

Praparations for a performant performing
