In the early morning we went with a schools bus to visit Hyundai Beijing. Hyundai the worlds fifth largest automobile company - probably because most of the taxis in Beijing are Hyundais ;-) That should be the only reason why the plant here is so successful; every minute they produce one car. Everything seems organized well and in a good shape - but the factory is not more than 5 years old. And, still there is so much done manually - labor cost are so low.
Taking pictures was forbidden of course, but no one cared - so I also took some. Industrial espionage! Unfortunately the whole "show" was in Chinese only... interesting anyway.

In the evening we had wonderful moments in a Karaoke room. After we had dinner with a lots of tendons, chicken stomach(which is really not bad) and liver, also some "normal" stuff and a lots of "Gan bei"s, we headed for a disco. "Babyface". Very stylish and modern but also very expensive... we didn't stay long, instead we took some taxis, including some illegal ones which are basically driven just by normal people who want to make some extra money, to a big karaoke place.
Karaoke at "Melody"! Or KTV. There are hundreds of rooms in that big building. And every room is equipped with a perfect karaoke machine, several screens, lighting system and microphones. You can buy drinks and snacks in a little shop and take it with you in your room... mmm maybe you can also have your own beer - who would know?! That would be a cheap evening!
Chinese songs (but basically everything... also BSB ;-)), American beer and a lot of fun... This concept is Singstar to the max! So different from a European party evening because of the separated rooms.
