"To go or not to go" ... that was a question

Well ... there has be some ups and downs lately about my going to China but just right now it seems to have settled ... I WILL BE GOING ... flight 30th august Stockholm - Beijing - Chongqing.

Things are not always as they seems to be at first sight ... you get information, you do some thinking, you get som more information, you might get some ideas that kind of clash and crash ... you get worried because the puzzle doesn't fit ... more thinking ... more information to find answers that are needed to feel secure enough ... to dare to take part of the adventure ... called LIFE

Bureaucracy and Chopsticks

The wheel of bureaucracy is spinning and I hope that all processes will be completed so that I can travel as planned 1 st of september Stockholm - Beijing - Chongqing. I hope that I don't get lost in Beijing where I have to change plane to Chongqing. I'm not "experienced worldwide traveller" ... not yet, not yet ... but I will.

I remembered that it might be good if I learn how to handle chopsticks so that I don't have to starve. I have tried couple of times before and it was kind of frustrating when I was hungry and I was not able to eat fast enough. So last tuesday I went to sushi restaurang near my work to get chopsticks and started practicing during lunch. I think it's fun to learn new things.

China in my mind ...

This blog is my first blog and my intention is to write about my experiences during my stay in Chongqing, southwest China. Maybe I will also show some photos from places I'm going to visit.
