Vietnam Vibes

Last week China celebrated it’s annual 7-day National Holiday known as Golden Week. The country pretty much shuts down for a full week and the busy, crowded streets of China’s megacities become deserted and quiet. Most locals take the opportunity to travel to their hometowns to be with family, and most expats leave the country…

My best apps for Shanghai

1. Pleco  Pleco is probably the most famous and downloaded Chinese dictionary and learning tool there is. And for a good reason – it’s just awesome! This is also by far the app that I use most both in daily life running around Shanghai, and when studying Mandarin. The dictionary is obviously extremely useful (and…

Apartment hunting in Shanghai

Robert and I have finally moved and settled in to our new apartment, woohoo! It feels pretty damn good to hang out in our own home after 3 months of hotel living. But believe me, the road getting here was not easy. Turns out that apartment hunting in Shanghai is a pretty huge pain in…

Photography workshop with Thierry and Amey

Do you have an awesome camera but not sure how to get the most out of it? Well, I do. I’ve been getting more and more interested in photography in the past year, but using more complex camera settings is still pretty foreign to me. So when I heard about a photography workshop taught by Thierry Coulon, a…

My China Bucket List

I might totally be in the honeymoon phase of moving to a new place, but I have to say I absolutely love living in Shanghai! I feel so at home here. That makes me think about the fact that Robert and I won’t stay here forever (for now the plan is about 3 years), which in…

5 Cool things to do in Hong Kong

I mean, who doesn’t love Hong Kong!? It’s just the coolest city on earth. It’s one of those places that I would love to live in one day. I just wish it didn’t come with giving up luxuries such as living in an apartment bigger than a shoebox… Anyway, visiting HK will have to do…

Travel time! A weekend in Xi’an

This weekend was travel time, wohoo! Robert had some business to take care of in Xi’an, so I had the opportunity to tag along and check out this famous-ish ancient city located right in the middle of China (which is pretty fitting since it’s said to be the most “Chinese” city in the country). Xi’an…
