Stopover in Singapore + photos from HK

Yes, I'm back in S'pore for a bit more than 24 hrs - to be exact, my flight to Ho Chi Minh City leaves in 4 hrs :) Never getting tired of travelling apparently :D I think it's family genes ;) So saying first goodbyes here in S'pore, packing, sleeping - and then off again. Most of my Hong Kong pictures are uploaded on facebook, but I posted some here as well.

On the road again!!!! FINALLY HONGKONG!

Yaaaaaaaay, my exchange semester is OVER! I wrote my last paper today, I just have to submit it and then - oh my god, unbelievable - my fifth semester is done! And then I'm officially in my last semester :s time runs...

BUT now I'm on vacation!! Yes, I could not help it, I had to go somewhere...and I have to admit the very moment when I stepped out of the plane here in HK, I already felt the excitement and the life and the joy of being on the road again :) 

And seriously - this city is just amazing! Full of life, people, laughter, noise, shops, restaurants, construction sites, Asians, Europeans, whatevers, food, light, skyline...I haven't seen that much so far, but I already like it - really, really like it. And it's good to see some old friends again, it's been a long time... :) 

I wish I could upload some photos here to show you the beautiful view and everything, but I forgot the connection cable for my camera :( Anyways, I'll be here until Tuesday and I think I'm gonna keep you updated - tomorrow we're gonna go hiking :) Some exercise, finally, after one week without any sports (thanks to my cold which is gone now luckily).

Oh, not to forget - as time runs, it's only two and a half weeks more here in Asia and then I'm back home for reunion with the ones I love...I'm so looking forward to see you all, but at the same time I'm really sad to leave 'cause I found some amazing friends here. But - as we Germans say, "Man sieht sich immer zwei Mal im Leben."

Hugs from HK!

Woooooow, one MONTH!

God, I just realized that I did my last blog entry ONE MONTH ago! Incredible...I'm really sorry, I was not really in the mood of writing and I have loads of work to do as there is only ONE MONTH left here! Yes, today in four weeks I'll be sitting in the plane back to Germany, looking forward to see my family again, thinking about the wonderful interesting four months in Asia, missing my roommates and the friends I found here, looking forward to my friends, being nervous about my internship...

Well, but enough of this 'cause it just makes me miss home more. Back to what I did the last weeks and what I'm gonna do the next weeks! Well, the last weeks - I basically worked. Worked worked worked. And working here is hmmm different from working at WHU. It took me some time to get used to it and I think I got to value what WHU really teaches us and how good our students really are :D Just so much to that. 

The next week - well, the next one and a half weeks - will be still working, there are two more presentations to do, one group report to write, one exam to be solved and two papers to write. 

But THEN! VACATION! FINALLY! Yeaaaah, I bought my tickets to Hongkong (Nov 13 to 18) and Vietnam (Nov 19 to 27)! I'm getting really excited about this :) 

Hope it's gonna be a good ending for my Asia experience. 

Enough of that. Here come some photos of the last weeks, just to give you a more vivid impression ('cause I learned in my CB class that vividness increases the accessibility increases the retrieval...whatever... ;))

I went on another diving trip to Tioman and this time Martin, my dive buddy, took some photos:

Then we had a pretty okay Halloween Party:

Soooo, I'm looking forward to see you all again soon :) Hugs and Kisses!
