Back in Bangkok!!!

I had a some great days traveling with my parents and my brother. First we went up to the north of Thailand: Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. Followed by a short stop over in Bangkok and then we went to Pukhet and Ko Phi Phi, both in the south of Thailand. Especially Ko Phi Phi was wonderful. I have never see such great beaches with such amazing sand and the water was not blue, it was .... well you will see in the pictures that I will post very soon :-)

this past week......

..... many things happened here. At first I have signed now a new contract. I am not longer a Trainee anymore, but now an official employee in the position of assistant manager. I am very happy about that, because it means that I can stay for many years longer in my beloved Thailand........ YEAH!!!!!!! So if you have plans to travel to Thailand, now you know someone who lifes there!!!!!

Also in this week, we had our CEO from Germany for a visit. I had the chance to join dinner with im Tuesday and Wednesday. We also chatted for a little while. I find it quite funny that I was invited both to both dinner :-) It was also interesting when I said good bye to him. He mentioned that he can truly see that this is the right place for me here because I look very happy here. He also mentioned that he heard many good things about me.... wow..... not to often for me to hear that from the CEO.

And with the new job there also comes a lot more responsibility and with that comes also longer working hours and with that comes the need for a car. So I have started to look for one. Today I went to a car dealer, to see, what kind of car I can fit in...... Hopefully soon, I will have my own car. I can't wait to have one. With a car, I will have more possibilities to make trips outside of Bangkok to the nice beaches here...... SWEET!!!

bye bye cd! I will miss you.....

tonight I heard from some friends that the biggest cd store in town is closing down. That means that I will hardly have an opportunity to buy leagel cds anymore. Some of you might think, why not downloading of the internet? Well, the download speed of my connection is approx. 10kb/s. Not kidding guys. Even I pay for a 2Mb/s line, the provider is giving me this download rate. Did you ever try to donwload 700Mb with your 56k modem many years before?..... It sucks.

there and back again.......

yes ladys and gentleman. i am back in Thailand after a wonderful week with my friends and family.

30 celcius degree did pick me up from the airport and guided me safe to my appartment. I never realized how poor Thailand looks like, but after spending the last 3 month in a rich part of Hamburg (Rotherbaum) I saw Bangkok with different eyes. Never the less, this is my beloved hometown for now and the next years to come.

I know I have not been the best blogger in the past year, but I want to start sharing with you what is happening in my life here.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
