Alive & Kicking

I know, when you go for a long journey to a far and far away country, you are supposed to keep your friends, wannabee friends and family updated about everything you do! Or at least make some general remarks about it.

So here another update...ok...actually I just WANT to tell what I'm doing here! I enjoy reading other ones stories, so why not create a few myself? I hope I can convince you to come over to Asia once! Or twice... The first successes in this are already booked: next week my father and aunt will come over to explore Hong Kong and the mainland, and a week after they leave my friends Jasper, Sander and Imo will kick the sh*t out of this town! Will definitely report about these two visits...

And ehm yes...it's in English...mam...dad...see it as a learning experience.

So what did I do here the past few weeks? Since time flies here, I also tend to forget sometimes what I did last week...another reason to write it down huh. EHM...yes...last weekend was great! Friday I hang out in Lan Kwai Fong, were the main clubbing/pub scene is going on...and Saturday I went to one of the best concerts ever: Muse! Since HK people don't really bother going to non-cantonese concerts, it was pretty easy to obtain tickets, so we went with Faisal, Traz, Frank, JP and Liz to be blasted away and amazed by the enthousiasm of the crowd... The next day explored Lantau with Egle and Mantas, taking a look at the place where we will have an interns weekend in a few days.

Then we had the Chinese New Year, with the fireworks (nice...), a parade in Tsim Sha Tsui (tip: get your spot next to the 7/11, easy for getting your cold drinks) and other New Year stuff. Nice to be here during the days in which NY is celebrated twice...

Work! Let's not forget that's actually one of the main things I'm doing here...working for a Swiss company at a very nice location in HK (see post below) with three other interns! With descent European working hours, nice people to work with and enough to think and read about, I'm pretty happy to have ended up here. Ask me for details or if you want to be an intern there as well!

And that's it for today. Time for some sleeping (for locals, sleeping is what you should do at night, it makes you feel better during the day).
