1st of June!

Jolly good, it is the first of June, and that means that there is now nearly only 6 months to Christmas.
And only three weeks to our Summerbreak! But how can that be, I don't feel that it is about one year ago that we went for our summer holiday in Europe, but it is and that is just an amazing thing, one year more just gone like it was a couple of months.
This year we're not going to Europe, we are going to explore the big neighbour just north, east and west of us; China. Atleast we plan to, but let us ee how things are in three weeks, here I mean the situation with the swine flu. It is not that it is more scary here than else where, but now there is ten confirmed cases here, and maybe the school has to close down because of that, so we follow the developement very carefully, and so does the goverment and if there is one confirmed case of an human to human caused infection, the schools will shut down.
But there is absolute no panic and we will plan our break and adventure as usually.
We're planning to spend 4 to 5 weeks with our backpacks and then travel through China by train and buses , just like back in times when doing interrail throughout Europe, China is just far bigger. I am especially excited by that, as I think this will be somehow one of the most facinating travel experiences I could ever dream of. And offcorse, I'll try to keep on posting from around where the trip might bring us.
But before that there is still 3 weeks of ordinary everyday life to do, so you have to deal with various kinds of inspiration from this side, and as you maybe can tell, it isn't that good every time, and because it is turning into being everyday life for us here to go on a hike, I will spare you for more details of the mountain trip I did yesterday, and just post a picture of my and my friend Bob, on one of the mountains around here where we live.
By the way Bob and his wife Yvonne -lucky duck's- are flying back to Dresden on Thursday the 4th of June, and will stay there for 5 days, as they are going to the graduation of the first IB Diploma Students from Dresden International School, where they both worked before comming here.
So if some of you readers from Dresden, meets this man somewhere in Dresden next weekend, then please approach him and and tell him to say hi to me, when he returns back home.
Another by the way, this time according to duck; I read in a newspaper -or in fact it was Catriona- that an old Vietnamese prowerb says that; "if you have two women and a duck, you have a market".
