Bring on the Night

  …or…. well… Flight tickets. Yesterday the flight tickets arrived. Viatravel in Ã…rhus did a great job, and helped me find some really good tickets for my wifes return trip (which by the way will be the 23. march). Two things is especially good about the tickets: The price was lower than last time because of the […]

Since my wife arrived in Denmark, I have learned to appreciate Chinese food even more than on my trip to Shenzhen. Not only has my wife introduced me to brand new variants of ways to utilize current Danish ingredients, but she have also taught me that side dishes don’t have to be salad or bread. […]

Weeeee….. Today a white shiny envelope dropped in my mail! The Danish Emigration Service finally released our initial bank guarantee of 51.000 kr,- (8400$), which basically means that these money now are safe, and I can get on with the next step in bringing my wife to Denmark. For further info read this older entry. […]

or well, lets say, at least one is interested, which is enough for me to ramble on. ;-) Today someone planted a finger in a sore wound of mine: My ability to keep you all posted on mine and C.’s situation. As I wrote earlier, C has now returned to China. Not because we wanted […]

Married 16. dec. Abandoned 20. dec. Well, not really “abandoned”, but due to the strict laws here in Denmark, C.’s visa was only for 3 months, and last day was 21. dec. The flight ticket was made for the 20. december. A cruel fate, but still nothing to do about it. It is no longer […]

More about this later. Now it is time to enjoy some time without blogging. (well – ok – just one picture then: Married)

Like most other bloggers I sometimes find myself scanning the stats for visits to this blog. Always a pleasure to find that someone is interested. My blog is still relatively unknown, but still I have some unexpected visits from other sites. Most are redirected from China Blog List, but some find their way through Google, […]

I really had doubts if this article is blog worthy, but here we go anyway. Some time ago Justin had an interesting entry about his secret “hatred” (now public) against Germany/Germans, I felt inspired to write him an email about my own opinion in this regard, since I could easily understand his feelings. I have […]

When it rains it pours! The first week in Shenzhen offered only great weather. Well great in the sense that it wasn’t raining. The humid and extreme warm climate that had greeted me the first week really was not the most comfortable for a “great” Dane like me. Suddenly this changed. You really never can […]

Since I eventually cannot remember the days from each other, my next posts will be about things I experienced in no logical order. On one of my days alone (C. had to work), I went for a walk in the evening (20.00-21.00 I think). During my stay in Shenzhen I had slowly begun to feel […]

Sorry for lack of update, but the last week has been pretty hectic. I have no intention of stopping this blog, but at the moment I am pretty busy. The few times I have time for writing is always when I need a rest and lack the motivation. But do not worry, just like Arnold […]

After my less successful trip to the DVD shop, I decided to spend the evening relaxing at the hotel. The day before I made arrangements with C. and the interpreter to contact me about what to do the next time C. and I had time to meet. The interpreter called me, and asked me what […]

After a good nights sleep I began wondering what to do with my day. I had the whole day to myself, since C. had to work. Even though the interpreter had offered her services showing me some of the city, I decided that this would not be the same without C. I had become very […]

Day number 2 and my jetlag finally disappeared. I am not sure it was the time difference that gave me this feeling only, but more likely the long flight. Still I had problems sleeping at the right hours, but this was a slight problem. The whole day before really went well. The interpreter really was […]

I met C. and the interpreter in the lobby. C. was a very sweet girl, like I had felt through our letters and the pictures she sent. I instantly liked her smile and eyes. She even gave me a handshake, though she in a letter had told me that this was not common in China, […]

Leaving the reception I went to my room. Pretty neat room for a 3 star hotel I thought. The fee was 300 or 456RMB a night. I really never found out what the real price was until I saw the print from the credit card on my computer back home. When I reserved the room […]

(Bear with me, since the next part is written out of memory. It is now almost 4 weeks since I left China, and some details may have slipped my mind). There you go. I was almost ready for takeoff. Last thing was to tell one of my brothers about the real reason for going. See […]

Well, no way back now. I’ve jumped into the whole shebang with both legs first and eye tightly shut. I have started my own web blog. During the last few days I have come across many of these on the Internet. Recently I discovered the whole community after looking for some Chinese software reviews (more […]
