Weekend and guests

The weekend has almost passed. Well, for me every day is a weekend... ;o) But it is nice when Gustav has time off too.

Friday night we went out for beers with some of his friends. The night ended at Bund 18 - a super fashionable place on the Bund crowded with expats and very rich Chinese. A little like the Yacht Club in Papua New Guinea. Maybe not the place I will return to on a general basis but fun to see.

On Saturday Gustav and I went shopping at the market. Canada Goose jackets that look really good for 320 Swedish crowns for anyone interested. Two pairs of shoes, a table cloth, a camera tripod, sunglasses and a fake leatherman later we felt the need to relax and went to get a foot massage. Mmmm!

When we walked on our street this morning they sold snakes, turtles and small rabbits from small boxes on the street. Alive! I guess they are for eating... We continued to the gym which is super nice and in the same building as where my mandarin classes will be. After sweating for an hour we went for brunch with my old high school friend Oscar and his girlfriend Ingrid. They are here for a couple of days to check out the city and maybe move here. So fun to meet and update the last couple of years.

At 15:30 Linda, my friend from Grenoble, landed. She will stay for two weeks and explore China with me. Fun!!!

Keep in touch!

    Hej hej.
    Skönt att höra att ni får vara tillsammans igen. Här hemma är allt bra med oss. Jag åker runt hela Sverige med Anton. Det är ok, men han kan inte spela backamon men jag har ett par veckor till på mig att lära honom. Vi ser fram emot att träffa er igen.

    Hello my friends!

    I already wondered when you guys will leave calm Switzerland and go to broiling China. Hope you will have a wonderful, interesting time.

    I am still busy - two more exams on friday and saturday than my vacation will start. 5 Days in Rome, I am really looking forward to it (it turned cold in Germany!).

    Let´s keep in touch!

    Yours, Alex

    Hej finingar! Märkligt att läsa om era äventyr, och liv, från andra sidan av jorden... Håller med föregående författare att det är härligt att höra att ni får vara tillsammans igen, även om det innebär att vi här hemma i Svedela får vandra utan er. Jag saknar er mycket! Ska bli roligt att få följa med i vardagens (?)Kina, väntar med spänning på nästa rapport. Stor kram med saknad! Kusin K

    Hej från en som fortsätter att hålla ställningarna i Schweiz. Låter som en behaglig helg och jag ser fram emot att höra hur undervisningen i kinesiska går. Självkämpar jag med franska men kinesiska är nog mycket lättare....INTE!

    Wow how cool that you went walking along the Great Wall! And of course it is important to go shopping, too.... and to get a foot massage.

    I am glad friends are coming to visit you. That will make the city much more fun for you!!
