Im back home in beijing! The 2 weeks in sweden was great and i had a lot of fun! Linneas graduation,the trip to stockholm, watching the euro cup with friend and celebrating midsummer=) on my way back i stopped by berlin to see Linn and eat doener. It was short but really nice! Then i flew over Dusseldorf back to beijing. The flight was delayed and i had to wait in total 7 h in Dusseldorf. But now im here and im happy to be back!

On wednesday i started my new job at Filemaker. Im searching for bugs in the swedish version, and on monday my training is over and i will start for “real”. The people there are nice and we all have lunch together. The job is so far good but difficult sometimes, as i know nothing about computer terms and stuff. But everyone is helpful and im learning.

The weather is hot and grey here. So far i havent seen the sun but its still warm.

Tonight we are going to a concert in a club were oliver is taking some pictures. Its gonna be fun! For the moment we are waiting for the cleaning lady to be ready then i guess we go out for lunch. I feel a little bit guilty when im drinking coffee and someone is cleaning for us…well well.

It’s good to be back!

Puss o kram!

Yesterday was last day at work in school. I gave them cookies and tried to explain im not coming back. The big children understood and some of them where crying but the small ones didnt get it and said ’see you tomorrow’ when i left. When the smallest kids wanted to kiss me good bye they kissed my legs cause i wasent prepared and they are so small and couldnt reach. So cute! I will miss them! The other day one boy came to me and started to touch my hair a lot and then said ‘but your hair are yellow!!’

The weather is still great here but very high humitidy. I’ve been trying to get a tan on my lunch break but i cant stand being in the sun for a long time..so hot! All the teachers in school think im weird cause i want to get a sun tan. They think white skin is very beautiful and they put on white make up if they go to a nice party or meeting. Everywhere you see umbrellas when the weather is good. Looks kind of funny actually=)

Tomorrow im going back to sweden!!!!!I couldnt be more happy! Cant wait to see the family, friends, breave fresh air, ride my bike and eat breakfast=)

Tonight there is a swedish party to celebrate the nationalday!

Time to pack my bags and then go shopping!

Gruss und Küss!
