The 10th of August from last year I arrived to Beijing onboard an Air China flight. Tonight I will catch the same flight but in the opposite direction. (Beijing-Madrid).
I have had 11 intense months here in China an fare away from home. First thing last year when I arrived, I had a soft landing during an initial intercultural training course surrounded of interesting new people. The honeymoon ended with the starting of the Chinese classes that lasted 7 months. During that time I did not stopped to discover new things: From new Chinese characters every day until the 3 dimension restaurant menu card. In November I moved from University dormitory into an apartment, just after I founded saffron so I could cook some paella. During Christmas 2 weeks holidays I did not go back to Spain, but I spend instead a very good sunny days in Tibet.
It was necessary to keep calm during the first 3 months of the year as it was the end of the Chinese language training curse. The very could weather of Beijing help me to do so. The second quarter passed very quickly as I have several visitors and change the Chinese classes at the university for an internship at Airbus China.
I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all people I have shared good moments with this last year. I wish Beijing Olympics are totally successful. Beijing is now a beautiful city and if you decide to come over I am sure you are going to enjoy it. I have also discovered this year that there is plenty of very nice people in China.
Now I am going to go to prepare my back pack, as you know is my favourite way to travel. To China I said see you latter as I plan to be back by the 1st of September.
