Anybody here?
Yep I'm still having my writers block, so its been kind of quiet around here. Actually, I'm quite curious if anybody has even checked out this place in the past few months ;)
Well in case you did take the effort to come over here, let me tell you how its going. In short. I guess now and then I'm still a bit recovering from my reversed culture shock, and am now finishing my studies by writing a final thesis. After five years of living among the students I joined my parents again, mostly due to the shorter distance to my company. I hope to finish my studies SOON and get back to more important things like travelling, meeting people, and thinking about important things to do next. Ehm yes that will probably include working...
Finally, check out the bunch of emotion and energy in the video below, its awesome.
Thanks for coming!

Wild Swans
Finished today with reading this magnificent book "Wild Swans", written by Jung Chang, describing in moving words her life as a young girl during the time of Mao. Utterly interesting and a must-read for anyone interested in what China has gone through and the influence on how it is functioning even now.
I've ended the day with seeing Chrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Wu hu cang long), a pretty nice Chinese movie.
Yup...it was a China day again...
