walk in the park
Today a year ago we visited the Great Wall at Jiankou for the 5km hike along the wild wall. We had gorgeous weather, blue skies and did a picnic at the ruins of one of the watch towers.

Mia has finally arrived in Valencia!
On Saturday afternoon I could finally pick up Mia from the airport after our 2.5 months of separation! It was great to see her walking through the gate, pushing her cart with a stack of suitcases on it.

my 2nd day in school
When I arrived at school yesterday they had made some changes as my co-student canceled an hour before. So instead of giving me 4hrs per day, they changed it now into two hours per day for the first week, but then guaranteed private lessons, plus on Monday 4 hours private class. Well, that’s ok with [...]
happy customer
Can it be true? Are there really companies waking up and start to grasp the true meaning of the word service?!
Since it is a rainy day and I am not feeling like cooking up any food nor going out to get some and I already had a hotpot for lunch this afternoon, I decided to [...]
