Guy going abroad

Today Guy is going to China for six months, or a little longer if all goes well.
Right now, he is on his plane somewhere over the Gobi Desert trying to attack his boredom by placing blogposts on his website.
What he is going to do there is still not quite clear to me, but I’m sure it will involve learning Chinese, taking pictures and generally having a lot of fun. :)

Guy: I hope your trip will be fine and the next six months you will be free of any dismay China may cause a foreign traveler.
Best of luck from me, my girlfriend and all from I&E.

A warm welcome

As many of you know, I’m currently doing an internship at Ordina since the last week of July. To my great surprise, I found a note yesterday stating I could collect a bouquet delivered for a mr. Tijhof. Curious as I was, I went to our neighbours to retrieve the flowers only to find out they were sent for me! Who on earth could be sending ME a flower bouquet? Turns out it’s from the business unit I’m currently doing my internship with, so I’d like to thank you all for this fine present!

Back in town

Right, after a very refreshing two-week stay at some tiny town in Austria, I’ve learned quite a few things about the place, and the very first would be: Internet is not something the Austrians would consider a necessity.

During my twitching and eye-twisting my girlfriend tried to distract my attention from the lack of internet-access to more relaxing things like walking the awfully beautiful mountain-trails available at Ötztal or the fine local cuisine, the latter led to some very fine pizza-eating which, given the fact we were only about 40km away from the Italian border is not astonishing.

I very possibly will post some pics when I’m back home I placed some pictures below (see the update), we’ve taken scandalous amounts of photos in those 14 short days.

Anyway, it’s good to be back, and it’s good to have been on holiday. I’ve rested enough to turn my attention fully to the three most important things in the upcoming months: my masterthesis, my sport and my friends and relatives.
