Whew. It’s been a while. Happy Valentine’s Day! I am sorry to those of you who didn’t have dates. You will some day. :-) j/k. (well, not kidding that you will have a date someday, I meant I was kidding about my sarcasm..) uh, any way…. Long story short, after the 10 days of working, I went to Budapest to visit my parents. It was a very relaxing vacation. I basically stayed at home, slept, ate, etc… And now I am back in Beijing (have been for two weeks) and today is Sunday.

Day 8 of 10 Last night we had dinner and entertainment to close a project - the one I was working on for 2.5 months. We had Chinese food at a resturant near the office, which was quite good, and then went to a disco/ktv place. At the resturant, we were in a private room. There were two tables, we occupied the larger table - 9 of us. At some point during the meal, a group of people almost sat in the smaller table - but, they told the waitress they didn’t want to sit in the room because there was a laowai (slang for foreigner).

Day 6 of 10 Yes, 10 days of working. I was mistaken. But, that is ok, because next Friday (January 23), I am flying to Budapest! :-) I will be there for about a week.

Day 5 of 9 It is Friday, but not really. hrmpf. I am nearing 500 KM on my new bike, (8 more to go). That means, it is time for a full oil change (as opposed to the ~~ bi-weekly toping off). 500 more KM, and I get to cut the RPM-limiting pins in the carburetors.

I now have voicemail on my mobile phone! Go ahead and leave a message at +86 139 11811 654
