Back from the holidays...

Into the Wild

✨ Weekends like this ✨

Life is a Series of Surprises

Spring air and sunshine - I guess it's time to wake up from hibernation and get things going!

While it's still quite chilly and slippery, there's definitely a hint of spring in the air! 

Club Tropicana

Last weekend, my Lithuanian friend Vee paid me a visit in Tallinn!

So backstory - we first met in Sønderborg as we both began studying Chinese, but then our life parted, she lived in Indonesia and London, while I divided my life between Denmark and Shanghai. 

Eventually, shortly after I moved to Beijing for my Master studies, she also moved there for work. Within these two years, we've gone through loads of Beijing adventures and it's just amazing and rare to find people that you can connect with after all these years.

Anyways - we did a bunch of stuff. Very touristy. I felt like I'm on a trip myself at one point. 

Strawberry Festival, Day 2

Second day in Shanghai, Monday. 

It began at Celia's, this dingy little bar close to Dada Shanghai (used to be LoGo back in 'my days' haha I feel old for saying this). 

But yeah, Monday - there was more to do at Strawberry Festival!

Spring Things

 That time Bettybetsbets was in town and we went to Ramo to catch up on life

Weekends are the best

Saturday was all about fun - Sunday tho... all about stressing over my thesis. 

How I wish I were done with this one already. Last struggle.

All around Beijing

The Forbidden City from Jingshan Park

Taago arrived from Shanghai yesterday - it's also Tomb sweeping holiday, the 清明节 Qingming jie, so we're all having a long weekend. 

春天来了！The Spring is Here!

Just look at the city become alive again

上海 shenanigans

I stayed at a motel between Xintiandi, a posh shopping area, and this traditional old part of Shanghai, with old lane houses and streets like this. 
Talk about diversity.

Spring in Shanghai

Taking the train from BJ to SH was the best idea ever - wow, such views!

Makes one realise how HUGE and diverse this country is.

2016 in a nutshell

January

I greeted New Years with Anna-Lisa, Vee and a bunch of others at someone's flat - to be honest, we were afraid we won't make it there before midnight. But yes, NY started off well and on January 1st, Anna-Lisa cut of her hair (with my blessings, of course).

April & May through Film

Another film roll scanned - loving the results. 

Fujifilm is the best way to forward the Beijing vibes.

Summer sixteen

Weeeeeekend

A very happy Lili cause she finally found the 冰糖葫芦 with strawberries

At Vegan Tiger - ridiculously good string beans AND chinese cabbage with peanut sauce and sesame seeds. To die for.

 I had my oral exam on Globalisation, reverse innovation and IP rights on Friday and it went really-really well (despite the fact of me being sick for nearly a week and revising only during the last few days) and I was so prepped to just relax and do absolutely nothing on that evening. 

Downdowndown

These past 5 days have been... ugh. Somehow I managed to catch a cold which has wrecked up my entire system and all I've been doing for these days is sleeping (& binge watching series). 

Video: my trip to Shanghai

It's been a minute, but here you go, random footage from April. 

Ah, good times!

Ofc, cranck it up all the way to 1080p!
