Happy birthday Isabella Fiore!

Today is the first birtday of my daugther, and I hope the clothes I
sent her got there in time and are suitable. I would have loved to be
there, but now it's only one month before I will see her for the first
time. I hope there will be love at first sight.

生日快乐，北辣花！
今天是我的女儿的第一生日。希望她已经收到了我寄给她的衣服并且能合适的穿上。但糟糕的是，我们相隔太远，不过幸运的是，现在我只有一个月就可以见到她。我希望一见就爱。

New roommate.. Diego returns

A week ago a friend from last semester at Fudan made a comeback to
China. To help out I let him stay in my room, and according to his
plan he will find a work and earn some hard cash real soon. Let's hope
he succeeds as two guys in one room is a little too intimate for my
taste.

新室友
上个星期，我上学期在复旦认识的朋友又回到了上海。为了帮助他我让他住在了我的房子里。根据他的计划，他首先会尽快地找工作。希望他能赶快地找到一份工作，因为我不太习惯两个男人在一个卧室睡觉。

International dinner gathering

International dinner gathering

This weekend I hosted a little international dinner experiment. 8 people, 6 chairs, 5 nationalities, 1 Korean chef and many helpers in my 1 sqm kitchen, 3 Korean delicious dishes served. The food was ready 2 hours later than planned, but in the end everyone were happy (though after adding some water to the most spicy dish – to make it edible for “ordinary” people). Indeed a nice experience!

国际的集合

这周末我接待一个国际性的晚餐，有8个人，6张椅子，有5个国家的朋友，1 厨师跟很多住手，做了3顿饭。食物迟到两个小时才上桌，但是最后大家都很开心(虽然有的人需要加些水，因为有点儿辣）。这真是一次愉快的经历。

Sworn brothers

Because of the one child policy there’s a lot of brothers and sisters in China that’s actually “only” good friends. I am such a sworn brother with my Korean classmate, and once we were heading out for a Japanese Halloween party, we decided to wear similar costumes. Only pity we were just about the only that were dressed up,.. 兄弟们
