peer agreement (net): +1| Da aber dieses Gebäude Ausgangspunkt der Karriere von Dashanzi als Zentrum.... But this building was where Dashanzi's career ... Explanation: ... as a centre for contemporary Chinese art began, so the number itself became a symbol of the whole complex. By the way, is 798 really a street number, or are they numbered buildings on a compound? This would possibly explain why they start with 7 (i.e. the compound could be a former military complex). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2005-05-19 17:20:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Is Dashanzi a person or a place? If a place, \"career\" is not so good. Perhaps \"development\" |
