Where are the pictures from Seoul? Wasn't there suppose to be an update in this blog every week? Well, I had some good reasons why I wasn't able to write. The last three weeks were full of surprises...negative and positive!
It all started on May 4th, three days before my planned departure to Seoul: My laptop bag was stolen during a client's dinner in Changzhou. Laptop, passport, and wallet (incl. credit cards) were gone! The guy that stole the bag was caught on camera (there is a camera in every corner of China ;), but the police was not able to find him.
Anyway, I took me two weeks to get everything organized: new Laptop, new passport, and getting access to my money again. I thought everything can be replaced but then I realized that all my pictures that I took in China were on that laptop! After one week of despair I found out that the pics were saved on a company backup (even though this backup usually doesn't allow to backup images). That really made my day!
There was another result of the theft: Since I have an emergency passport now I'll have to leave the country within 30 days. That means I'll go back home on June 9th! I'm pretty happy about this! Initially I should have stayed until the beginning of July and they wanted me to extend my stay until the end of November, but coming back in the beginning of June sounds just right. I'm quite happy to come back home!
So what's up in the remaining time? If nothing extraordinary happens I'll go to Huangshan next week to see the Yellow Mountains, which are supposed to be the most beautiful mountains in China. The weekend after, my brother Martin will visit me and I'll do my third round of sightseeing in Shanghai. I'll then leave Shanghai on June 9th and arrive back in Leipzig the next day. But just if everything goes as planned, of course :).
Below you can see some random pics from Shanghai and Changzhou, and a team event we had this weekend.
One last recommendation from my side: Backup everything, things can get lost faster than you think ;)!
