beijing part one
Had a great time once again, spending New Year (the western one) and Christmas in China. Very cold but also sunny I have now returned to Hamburg where it’s even colder but also grey. Today there is some additional drizzle to brighten the mood.
Here are some photos of the trip.
punching out for the year
I’ve finally arrived in Beijing yesterday after two weeks of stress and hard work. It feels good.
China always is this place where I leave all my worries behind. After all, it is on the other side of the world.
streetcar
Yesterday I moved all my stuff temporarely over to my girlfriends place. From there it’ll be moved to Hamburg.
To get the stuff over I needed a van. Streetcar is an amazing and quick service. You do have to be a member but it doesn’t have any monthly fees. You get a member card with which you can open the car you ordered online by swiping it across the windshield. Very cool.
You type in your four digit code into the radio and get the key from the glove compartment in return. Once you’re done you park the car where you found it and lock it again with your card.
Slick, easy, quick and affordable.
And no… I’m not getting paid for this.
…thanks for all the fish
Well, after more than three years in this amazing city I have decided to leave and return to Hamburg.
There are several reasons for this. One being that there are currently more opportunities elsewhere.
Also there are already some very promising things in the making in Hamburg.
So, I’m looking onward with optimism and forward to new challenges.
