Hello people… Ni hau!!

This post is now being typed out while i’m having my foot massage rite in the middle of my apartment’s living room.. total relaxation. Sounds good huh but the other days that i’m not doin this, i’m working my ass off in the House Of Switzerland.

Well to cut the intro short, i would jus link what Mr Caldwell has already blog about.. and there are some pictures too… –>*HoS*

There should be no pictures in this post due to the extensive work hours that i’m having here.  Its slavery, but again we are in China.. I’m here already here in Beijing for one and a half weeks and i;ve only manage to get my feet to silk street which is a shopping paradise for cheap and also pirated stuff.. and HouHai, a lake with alot of bars and also good small restaurants. apart from that its always working and working setting up the House. The whole House was a mess (even now) due to the late completion by the construction workers. (i blame it to the organisers being too nice and not push for the due date.) most of us arrive here expecting things to be ready for work but the whole interior of the house is still under construction and we service people have nth much to do as we cant do anything because of all the dirt. We polish milions of glasses just to get it all dusty again the next day even though we use lotsa cling wrap to ‘protect’ ‘em..

So, since its slavery here, of course we dont get off work jus because we have nth to do in the service side. Most of us were being sent to the kitchen to help out. (for one week i was Chef Wong hahhahahahahahahha) i had so much fun in the kitchen despite the long working hours.  Everyone in the kitchen is soo coooolll.. (Mr Hor, just for your info, i didnt turn potatoes only ok,..i also peeled some onions and sauted some.. hhahha and some other mise en place as well…)

Olympic is supposed to be a BIG  thing but so far i’m here, i havent have or felt anything yet. The tv is airing so many updates that is nowhere to be seen. The only feel was few days ago when the Swiss atheletes arrived..(even though i’m busy running around like a mad chicken, i still notices la…) on the streets are all quiet and normal. the people are also normal with no special olympic atmosphere..dont really know how to explain it..its weird..

Apart from work and minor complaints on the hazy weather almost everyday. Its damn hot here and pollution is so so so terrible. How la Olympics gonna happen??? i really wonder sometimes. yesterday was the only day i could see blue skies, only awhile..The only good thing here for the time being is the apartment we are staying. its so comfy and furnished basically.. and centralized air conditioned haha..

ok the foot massage is done, and i’m gonna go get ready to leave for the city to meet my aunt for dinner.. lets hope that i dont get lost somewhere near Suzhou hahaha.. (the taxi drivers here are always great, they will say they know the place and later after 15 - 20mins ride they will ask where is the location that we wana go and then we get lost and then we spend another 15 mins in the taxi going round n round.. but normally it only cost about 30RMb for all four people so we wont mind so much. hahah)

Tschuss zusammen!!
