frustrated without telling the reason clearly.

Haus warming party Mosischstr. 3a. Qiao has no mood to take part in it and
keeps staying in his room. Qiao utters that it might be the best to return to
Shanghai right after the trip with Steve to the north to look for work. He has
not anymore interest in a language course since he thinks it makes no sense.
Berlin is dirty and poor, the Germans are narrow. Shanghai is splendid, rich
and perfect. Qiao wants to join a sailing course, but it doesnÕt work out.

rather harmonious he comes to the conclusion that its doesnÕt work well between
us. In Sex he tells that he changes from bottom to top, which does not work
with Gerrit. He wants more independency and freedom. And he feels more
