Aaahhh!! 3 weeks already

Hello out there in the big world!

Olof here. This second blog, took two weeks to put together... Well, perhaps not, but we realized that we could not view our own first blog due to the Chinese sensorship. We considered changing to a local blog provider. Then we got to know that if we bought some proxy, we could get around the whole problem. We have not tried yet, but anyway, this blog could not wait any longer.

The last two weeks have had its ups and downs. The apartment is now finally looking the way we want it to look. It took really some effort to get there, having repair men drilling holes and fixing cracked tiles until 22.30 on Saturday night.

Yesterday, we started with the decorations, putting up pictures on the walls. When we selected the frames from IKEA, we brought some of my school paintings with us to get a better feeling for what would be a good match. Some of the Chinese customers saw my paintings and tried to buy them, hehee. They were not for sale!

This weekend was also the first one we had time for some social activities. Beijing is certainly more vibrant than Stockholm. I have not had many international visitors coming over to Stockholm, but in Beijing it took less than 3 weeks to meet the first one. We met up with some friends from the Europe-Asia Young Leaders Forum. One of them were here on a short business trip to plan for Euro-Asia Summit with the world´s big leaders. This seems to be the place where things happen ;).

I continue on the same topic, but this time about the Olympics. I may have bought two tickets for the table-tennis semifinals. More about that later.

Until next time, cheers everyone!
