Tomorrow’s going to be my last day at work. I might drop by the office from time to time after quitting, as there is still some unfinished stuff to do, but I won’t be there all day long anymore. I’ve got less than a month until I fly back to Switzerland, it’s crazy how fast these 6 months have gone by. I feel old typing this. Because I 1) will leave the company soon, 2) have been treated...

Who the hell is Farrah Abahahhshshdmamaams/Abrams and why is she all over the internet? D: Is she worth my time? Is she worth a precious mouse-click? I feel like no. Farrah ahdjasgd makes music and it’s better than her sex tape is an enticing headline tho, I have to admit that.

Seoul.

Green Tea Latte. Best airport in the whole wide worldz. Having an oldschool pastel purple LG phone. Beautiful, graceful korean women with flawless skin and clothing style. So many nice clothes everywhere I coldn’t properly process it and ended up buying only ONE shirt and ONE pair of pants. Instead buying approximately six pairs of shoes - I am currently still unsure about the exact number. ...

And once again mindsets collided. Place: dinner table Time: 7pm With whom: dearest uncle He has this habit of blurting out questions either unrelated to what we’ve been talking about or in other ways misplaced. Tonight it was: Are there any male co-workers who like you? I was puzzled. Of all the questions he could’ve asked, I didn’t expect that one. I answered with...

I always get flustered when I accidentally stumble over some NSFW pictures on someone’s tumblr. Now that the CCTV seems to be working and filming even more so :/ But I guess it would be quite hilarious to be asked by my boss or co-workers what the hell I am/was looking at. Maybe I should write down some answers in case I ever find myself in this situation. Like ‘I’m a...

Our company had a meeting today

During which it at some point dawned on me how hard and tiring it must sometimes be to work here in China, as compared to let’s say in Switzerland. One major factor would be regulations concerning vacations here. Glancing at the calendar it might at first seem like China has lots of public holidays on which the people here can rest, spend some time with their family, travel, binge on ice...

My vacation in the Philippines - stream of...

Hot, hot, hot. Caving in Sagada and having batshit on my feet, hands, pants and probably in my hair. Caving guide who compares rock formations to genitalia. Swimming at One Hundred Islands (of which there are technically ‘only’ 99 left due to the earthquake).Everything’s cheap. Fast food restaurants everywhere (Jollibee, Chowking, McDonald’s, KFC, the list goes on and on)....

I am in a little bit of travel-induced stress. Because I was just too dumb and lazy to renew my passport back when I was still in Switzerland, I only got a two entries, 90 days stay L-Visa. I’ll be leaving for the Philippines tomorrow afternoon, so coming back from this vacation I’ll have to get myself a new Visa in Hong Kong, since my second entry was back in February. Unfortunately...

So I didn’t forget to turn off the water today. Instead I left home wearing my terribly fashionable home slippers, most likely because I was so immersed in singing and semi-performing along to SNSD’s Genie. Literally two seconds after the door closed and locked itself behind me I realized something was very, very wrong. I thought of directing a big ‘Fuck You’ at society...

Manager just gave me some paperwork to do - filling in some forms in Chinese. Writing Chinese characters. Using my actual hand instead of the computer. The apocalypse has arrived, Sam and Dean on speed dial but I am in China ): Luckily I have a smartphone and a helpful and bored co-worker in the cubicle in front of mine, who also has really long fingernails for a guy. I found this to be a thing...

I am torn between letting the past just be the past, moving on, letting go, trying my best to live in the Now - and giving in to nostalgy, to this narrative of sad Goodbyes, lying in bed awake in the middle of night, thinking about something that happened that day in endless circles, leaving a place and feeling melancholic because who knows I might never come back, seeing people for the last time...
