Busy university time

Entrance Gate of Capitol Normal University Beijing

Michi and I travelled to Beijing, she did research while I met the others and did the “out-of-Shanghai”-activities of our exchange program Media and Communication Management. After that we had a lot of excursions, interesting guest lectures and reports from guys already working in our field of study…

Yeaah, blog is alife again!

Unluckily I had very less time the last 2 months, cause of Michis research visit (I accompanied her to Beijing) combined with an intense sightseeing plan; and afterwards lots of stuff to do for university, mini expo etc… I will write about that in later posts when I have more time… 😉 … maybe…

Problem is that at the moment semester is coming to an end and every professor needs final presentations, papers, etc. So we are really busy to finish all courses, but I try to find time to write about the past weeks…

Cu sooooon!

PS: Michi intended to write a guest article if she finds time… hoping for it!
