welcoming 2009

It has been a while since you received news about my life between the roads of Beijing.
To sum it up, it has been cold, exciting, up-and-down, christmas-ish, visit-ish, interesting, traveling, writing, reading, swimming, ...

I am doing good - thats all what counts the most. Though, as much as I love living Beijing, its time to return back to Europe!
Since my birthday, for those of you who dont know its the 14-12, a friend from Germany (Elisa) is for visit and we've been travelling to Hangzhou and Shanghai the last days. It was great, somewhat rainy and cold without heating, we have relaxed and have seen a couple of sights, have visited Sebastian (a student collegue from Holland) and then returned back to Beijing for New Years!
Here I am, still being´off work till the 03-01, before I will counting down my last day at the company.
I know, you'd love to see some pictures...I try my best!

An exciting, happy, successfull, healthy and unforgettable 2009 to everyon!
