I consider myself busy these last few days although I still managed to watch two movies yesterday. Yep, “the Pianist” and “Kolya”. Both are very touching movies specially “Kolya”, I cried over “Kolya” although I didn’t cried as much as when I watched “the Kite Runner”, because “Kolya” have some comedy in it so it [...]

My sister and I were talking yesterday and she was asking me if we were affected by the recent earthquake here in China. Fortunately, we are very far from the center so we are safe. The recent earthquake left almost 15,000 (and counting) people dead and the survivors are now forced to stay outside their [...]

I meant to take pictures of our flat but until now I haven’t done it yet. I don’t know why. It could be just my usual lazy self or maybe I don’t like to leave this place yet.

He got a job offer and now he is waiting for the draft of the contract. After some negotiations, we will then head to Shanghai and we will stay there for two years!

Until now we are not sure about our destination. Will it be Shanghai or Austria? The uncertainty is killing me but anyway, I was thinking that in case we move to Shanghai I should maybe go back to teaching. I am happy with blogging but would be happier if I can teach as well. I [...]

I remember cursing this place, this city, and this country several times. There are a lot of things about it that I never seem to have gotten used to but some how it is sad that we are leaving this place soon.
The plan is we will move to Europe. Marcus already ordered boxes so we [...]

I’ve been to Japanese restaurants a few times before and based on those few times, I concluded that Japanese food doesn’t agree with me. Other than the fact that those raw fish always give me a funny feeling in my stomach which will later make me running to the toilet, I also hate wasabi and [...]
