Home is Where the Heart Is
In one of my interviews, I was once asked if I am having a difficulty moving from one place to another, if I hate it, or if I hope that it ends soon.
You see, I do hate moving and that means packing, transporting and unpacking things. I think I moved from one place to another […]
Growing Friendship
In four week’s time, my German lesson will be over and there will be a long break before the next course will start. I am please that not only my German is improving; my social life seems to be getting better as well. Earlier in my study of German, I was somewhat distant to my […]
Evening Sight-Seeing
The Shanghai Financial Trade Center, world’s current second tallest building, officially opened its doors to the public sometime in August. This building is next to Jin Mao Tower, another skyscraper. According to rumors, the opening on top of the Shanghai Financial Trade Center building was originally planned to be a circle but because it would […]
A Day of Living in Shanghai
We’ve been searching for electronic stores in Shanghai and there are a lot actually but we have not seen a big one until we saw Metro City some weeks ago. We promised to go back there and so we did.
Last Sunday, Marcus and I went back to that electronic market to buy me an iPhone […]
Inferiority Complex Attack
Emily, one of my Irish friends I mentioned in my earlier post, decided to stay in Shanghai to live with her boyfriend. I consider them friends because we spent a lot of time together in the last few weeks and Emily’s boyfriend is a colleague and friend of my husband. Emily’s sister Tina already went […]
Lesson Learned
I was introduced to two Irish women, Emily and Tina, last week and we instantly warmed up to each other. They are sisters and Emily is the girlfriend of Marcus’ friend and colleague, Henry. Henry is British so Tina kept teasing them about how it’s a miracle that they can stay together because Irish and […]
What’s Your Phone Story
We do have our landline in the living room. Since we just moved in to this flat a few months ago, we have not really accessorized it that much yet and since we don’t usually use the landline, we thought that we don’t need other phone in other rooms. So anyway, when I am […]
I Am that Kind of Shopper.
I didn’t attend my German class yesterday. The reason to this is because I needed to shop for a dress for the Austrian National Day Party which was held yesterday evening. Initially, we agreed to go there in our traditional Austrian clothes but Marcus changed his mind. So yesterday afternoon, I was checking a lot […]
Thought on Loans
In my point of view, it is great that people can easily get loans. It is great that even those who are into a huge financial trouble and bad credit history can apply for some sort of loan. This system has big benefits but what makes it bad is when people are not being responsible […]
Avoiding Eyeglasses
I got an eye check up just a few weeks ago in Austria. I did it there because I was a little bit doubtful about the results of my eye check-ups here. When I got a different eyeglass prescription last August from that of last June, I thought… hey, there must be some mistake—my eyes […]
