Low tide
Aliens never left..
"Mooncake fest" (Mid-Autumn festival) company party :)
Special dish & local delicacy: sea cucumber (our table didn`t dare to touch this culinary masterpiece ;)
Spontaneous trip to a city that is 2h bus ride away from Rizhao - Lian Yun Gang: wrote down the name of city, went to bus-station, bought tickets and went without any info on the city...arrived...on GPS found something that looked like nice mountain...took a taxi to mountain...
...wandered around...walked further...walked the streets...walked parks...found a hotel....slept...got a 6am wake up knock (more like continuous knocking with no intention to give up) on the door by police checking if all hotel customers had official receipts for the room payments (now that`s sick to do smth like that at 6am!!!)
...and in the morning took taxi and told..."to the beach" ...finished up on an island where one must pay 50 RMB to get to beach & seaside promenade...had a promenade...
Found cool abandoned (or most probably never used?!) villas
Found a groovy fishermen village..
And then returned to home sweet home - Rizhao :) Sometimes it`s really cool to have no plan and just go ;)
What would be the reason to drink wine at 10:00 AM on Saturday? ....well, in China - it`s exhibition opening (cause "naturally" opening an exhibition in the mooring is a sign of good luck!)
It was our first event like this in Rizhao and it took place in "1996" - club/restaurants/gallery!
All the important people.. (after speeches all of them got scissors and there was a group ribbon cut ;)
Art: 2 floors of gallery full of paintings featuring (mostly naked) women, birds, fish, and traditionally dressed men with swords...
...not your traditional Chinese art!
After the opening with the owner of "1996" - Max
After that we were invited for Exhibition opening lunch - traditional Chinese feast! So all in all it turned out to be 4 h event ;)

I have spent time in Rizhao,Wulian, Taixing (Jiangsu)and Shanghai. I am now back in Rizhao for a few days and a local told me about 1996 Club. Can you tell me about it?
Thanks,
Rogelio
I went to 1996 club while in rizhao back in April 2014 it was one of my best nights out. The club feels like a club you would find anywhere in Melbourne Australia. They had a band playing the night we were there. Couldn't understand the Chinese but they were bloody good. Then they started playing English music and done very well we chatted to the lead singer only to find out he did not understand a word of English just learnt the words to the songs which made them brilliant only if I could remember the band's name. Great atmosphere the only thing I noticed was drinks and wine were not on the cheap side.
