Man, was it really October 2006 that I posted a blog last time? I know I'm lazy, but that lazy...

It's not that nothing happened in my life or that I didn't experience or see interesting things in China. In fact the last six months were the busiest in my whole life...

In October I got pregnant. In November I got married legally in Shanghai. In February I got married in church in Germany in my hometown Fuerth and my beloved husband and me went on a honeymoon to Spain. And in March we threw our Chinese wedding party. Yeah, just to make sure, it'll be for the rest ouf our life, we got married three times. :-)

Now that this fun part is over, we only have three months to go to prepare for the arrival of our kid. Our little one will be born in the beginning of July and we are very much excited about it.

In the meantime, apart from work, I keep myself busy with studying Chinese and Shanghainese. In the beginning I found this dialect very difficult, but now I find it more and more interesting and not only learn it for the sake of surviving in a Shanghainese family, but also because it is interesting and fun. And I can get a deeper understanding of the Shanghainese people.

So what is coming up (if I don't decide to give up writing again):
- How to get married in China (both legally and party)
- How to get married in Germany in a church
- What do to when you're pregnant in China
- Introduction to Shanghainese
- Odd experiences I had recently
- Interesting Chinese expressions I came across
- and the fooood. :-)
