Life goes on… in Amsterdam!

It has been quite some time since I last blogged. Many things happened since then, but most of the time I was just too lazy to sit down and write about the incidents. The process of settling down, adapting and fitting in to the culture is no longer something new to me, so I guess I am doing better this time As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. However I think you can’t be so perfect in things like this, so I’m just doing my best, improving whenever I can.

Being in Amsterdam is so much different from my stay in Germany. The most obvious difference which I want to stress here is that the people are so open, friendly and flexible! Even though the first language here is Dutch, but until now I still have not encountered any Dutch who can’t switch from Dutch to English. Amazing! There are many things which I can write about the Dutch, but for now, I guess I just want to quickly wish you all a Happy Chinese New Year, and may this year of rat brings you good health, much happiness and great success in whatever you do! Well I am missing home now, even though I will be at home in another 10 days. I guess the Chinese saying 每逢佳节倍思亲 is really what I am feeling at this moment. Yet this year the feeling is quite different from last year, the intensity of homesick has decreased, guess I am getting use to it gradually. It is interesting to see the changes in me as years passed by…

New year, new beginning. I am starting this blog with a new title as well, as I am no longer residing in Germany. A new life is ahead of me, and maybe yours as well? Ok ok, I got to stop being so sentimental, so to all of you, again I would like to say -
新春快乐， 恭喜发财！:)
