After vacation in Sweden we are now back in Beijing and again at work.
We quick noticed that something had changed in the city. Not so many people and less trafiic on the streets.
"Cleaning up" before the Olympics, all people not having resident paper from the police allowing them to stay in Beijing have been forced to move out of town. Many this poor people been living in cellars, in the shops and in offices must now go back to their home towns where they are registred.

Because in China you are registred where you live. Every time I get a new VISA I have to go to the local police and update my residential papers and lately they have also been knocking doors in our apartment area to check that all people living here are registred.
Also a clean-up in the traffic have been done. All old cars (exspecially trucks) not following the pollution standards have been banned inside 5th ring road and the fine for breaking this law is high. So, now it is a little bit smoother to get to the office in the morning and back in the evening.
