After a rollercoaster ride of emotions and organization in the last 8 days, I am now in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Until Tuesday it was not exactly clear whether I would take my booked Air China flight on Wednesday or not, but I finally got the green light and startet the 17 hours journey.

It's definetly not the way I imagined my start as lecturer in China but I'm enjoying these days. It's comfortable to have some spare time and to get used to the Chinese.

By thursdays I will be first in Nanjing which is home of two other Bosch-Lecturers who offered me their place. Therefore my start in China will not be that one with the status of a homeless...
