I am really busy after I just came back from a long trip. Well, I also felt that work is not easy and life is not easy. Although I am not so naive as I am just graduate from school, I already knew or understood lots of things happened around me and why they happen like that?

Well, now I think most important thing for me is to set my life goal and learn more things to make myself have more capabilities to do more things...

I mean I do not want to be a strong woman to be president or what, but at least I will do things that I will not feel regret when I am old. So time is limited, I have to use every minute useful.

In the end of September, I was also in Aarhus,Denmark- the second large city in Denmark. We had to change plane in Copenhagen, after 20 minutes flight from Copenhagen we arrived at Aarhus airport, took the airport shuttle bus to the city. The landscape of Denmark is a little bit similar than in Holland, green grass land with cows and horses...

We stayed here about one week, but unfortunately I just only enjoyed it for about two days, then I got really bad cold, stayed in the hotel room for the rest of the days.

But anyway it is not a so big city for me, I have been to the botanic garden here, with the Den Gamle By - the old town, people wear traditional clothes, old houses along the riverside, shops which sell really traditional things... It was like another world, you will not realize that actually it was located in the city.

I have one day by myself to go around the city, around the Latin quarter where had many design shops, we also enjoyed the food in the restaurant along the river side.

It was a nice and peaceful town, but then I got this bad cold, there was only one thing I did was that lying on the bed. Maybe I should go back there sometime again...

Just back to Hangzhou yesterday, luckily with the typhoon together. Rain and wind together, very heavy rain and the wind make the window shaking...

So I did not go to work today, partly because I did not really sleep last night but also because of the rain, in this kinda weather, umbrella is useless, I will get wet very quick and cold also.

Tomorrow the typhoon will be gone, good!

Last day in Lisbon - lovely place. We got up quite early for Sat. prepared things and start our adventure.

From the center, we start to climb the hill, the city is build on hills, houses on the hill, people live on the hill, even have tram to go up the hill... Around the hill, we reached the castle, very old castle, there we had very good view for the city, red roofs and white houses - typical Portuguese buildings.

Down the hill we went to the monastery and bethlehem tower. All are historical places and quite interesting...

The trip was short, but we really enjoyed it, the weather, food, wine...

Bye bye lisbon, one day I will be back again!

The next two days mainly myself, I got a map (even I am not very good at reading maps, I will still get lost sometimes by holding the map), I know how to get to the city by subway, I have money (in case I have to get a taxi if I get lost)...

Safely arrived at the city center, weather is still warm and good. Walking around first, they have a walking street with shops (like the beijing wangfujing). Found a sightseeing bus place, they have two lines, I choose one to the east part of lisbon.

Start the bus tour to the east, lots of buildings, so different than the north part of the Europeans, since Lisbon is almost the end of Europe, so culture here mixed quite much, many black people from south america or from africa come here, also I found lots of chinese shops and restaurants. But one thing I did not like is that there are so many beggers on the streets, the social welfares are not very good here,lower tax and income could be the reason.

The second day I take the other route for the sightseeing bus, so I think I completely see almost all the lisbon part.

I like the city, not only the weather, also the food, culture, people...

Finally to a warmer place, I do not really like to be in a cold weather so quick. ( from 35 degrees to 14 degrees).

12th, Sep. after about seven hours flight (because we have to change plane), we arrived at Lisbon, a very warm place ( 28 degrees)! Warm and humid is the first feeling, but the traffic was really horrible(compare to Finnish or other north part European ones), taxi driver drove quite crazy but safe, we arrived at the hotel safe and sound.

Throw away all the thick heavy clothes, we could just wear t-shirt and shorts to go out enjoy the warm sunshine. Not far by subway we arrived at the city center, lots of squares here, I think I will not figure out which one is which...

Hungry! since there is still two hours difference between here and Finland. Looking for restaurant at six o'clock here is really a difficult thing, no restaurant will open until seven o'clock, since people here will start to eat at about eight. (Compare to Finland we have to go somewhere at five otherwise it will close at seven) So different culture again!

Because of the plane travel, we were really tired and hungry, even the waiter in the restaurant think we are so strange to eat so early, we still ordered food and enjoyed them very much!

(to be continued)

In Finland for a week now, not much things changed, I think it will not change so fast as in China any way. After five months away, I am back in Finland again now.

Very cold for me, since I came from a 35 degrees place to a 15 degrees place, luckily I caught a cold, but after I took some medicine feeling much better now.

Met friends, happy to see that they are happy with their lives, and always has something good happened in their lives... The air is clear here even it is very cold, actually I would not mind too much to live here if it is not too cold...

Two days later I will go to Lisbon, where will be warm and sunshine. I think I need that! So I will write more about that trip later.

Last week I was quite busy, days passed so quick even I do not feel it anymore.

From Thursday till Sunday I was in Singapore, the weather was pretty good, little bit hot( well the temperature will be always around 30 degrees), beautiful place I always think, lots of trees(tropical ones) and flowers(orchids). We walked on the seaside, quiet and clean and romantic...

But one thing I do not like, I got allergy of something that after I am back I had red spots on my face and neck, maybe I just got too much sunshine especially near the sea.

Tired week began, after arrived Hangzhou at 1am in the morning, I got up at 6am to go to work, till now I still feel so tired and always want to fall asleep.

Another long travel will begin soon, I will leave on Sat. and will be in Europe for about five weeks. So long!

I was alone for the whole week, actually from last weekend. I did not feel so lonely this time, maybe because I have so many things to do, just at night when I am really alone, I want to have someone whom I could talk to...

Well, life is just like this, or just I chose my life to be like this.Sometime I get jealous at someone whom always have somebody to be with, but sometimes I think I will feel bored if that someone is always the same one or just always be together...

I like things always change, just like my life which is changing always...but sometimes I wish I could stop at some point, well maybe soon, I do not know what life will bring to me...

I will travel again very soon, in two weeks I will be in Singapore for a few days, then in September the whole month will be in Europe.

I do not know, maybe it is just my destiny, I have to travel and can not stop in one place for a long time, I will feel bored...

Well then everyone can expect the new travel log coming soon.
