Hello Beijing

Mar 19th

Third day in Beijing. Had a nice realxing Tuesday alone with Pingping and met up with Fei Ai and her friend Aron yesterday. We had lunch together with Pingping and after picking up Aron’s suit we sat a little at Houhai, drank and talked a little.

Today I’m gonna look at some apartments around Wudaokou. Seems like there’s lots of nice and cheap ones free at the moment – the recession also has its’ good sides

Nothing very special these days. Seem to be allergic to something floating around in the air these days. Oh, nearly forgot: NEVER drink a “Green Tea Latte” at Starbucks!!! The “Green” in doesn’t mean real green tea (like any normal person would think), but some kind of sea-weed tea!! I posted a pic of that “delicous” brew and yes, it really tastes as bad as it looks!

So, yes, I’m moving back to Beijing! This time to write my final thesis in a project at Peking University.

The past weeks were filled with my last exams, a (really interesting) scientific paper we wrote, finding someone to take our apt in Cologne and miscellaneous – seemingly never ending – last preparations. But there were also lots of “goodbye meetings”, which – though kinda sad by definition – were lots of fun.
I really have to thank my girlfriend and my family for bearing me and my stress-induced moods.

But now I’m here and staying (at least for 6 month). And as lots of people asked me to keep them updated I thought of reviving this blog and add more personal posts to the automatic del.icio.us news and occasional videos I’ve been posting lately.

As I got a nice new cam (Canon IXUS 980 IS), I’m also gonna try to post some more pics from time to time.

The flight with Air Emirates was ok. More >
