REUNION: ANY SURVIVORS?

Hi BE BETTER gang)))
I wonder if anyone is still @ Zorpia? Lets update each other on what's going on in our lives!!!

Me: studying, working, traveling, enjoying life, trying to get back on the Be Better track in life

I am now working on a project for Borders (largest book retailer, for those who are unfamiliar) as a student consultant. Juicy part: I now have a 33% discount on books, and given my passion for reading... quite a good deal! )))
I recently went surfing to Puerto Rico, less than one month ago. getting Better & Better... this is probably The most free-spirited kind of sport... suits me perfectly... I spent a week with die-hard surfers, and I can say it is a different culture, different life style.... filled with freedom...

in a month I am going to Barcelona with my fiancee.... always dreamed about this day. keep my fingers crossed we both get visas (there are some reasons to worry)

so my life abroad is quite busy... and expensive.. but there are some things more important than money...

Ok, now waiting for others' responses.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!

Hi Mark. It's wonderful to hear from you and to know that things are going well in your life. You were one of my first friends in Zorpia and the only one I keep in touch with from my old ID. I miss you, my friend, and I'm happy that you can find time now again to stop in and say hello.


Things here are much the same. I still have 3 Zorpia groups that keep me busy when I am online and I'm still working in the family businesses. The biggest news is that I just returned from two weeks in China! It was my first time there and I loved it!

Sounds great!
Was your trip related to your family business or a touristic one?
Which places did you visit? Tried their local dishes? What did you like the most? Was the air heavily polluted in the place you went to?

Yes, the first week my husband attended a trade show. The rest of the time was for site seeing. We visited the Terra Cotta Warriors, The Great Wall, Tiananamen Square, the Forbidden City, The Summer Palace and other places. We ate Peking Duck and we went to the Peking Opera (maybe it's the Beijing Opera? lol). The trip was fantastic! :)

Hey guys and girls.. well i'm still in China for the time being.. gald you enjoyed it over here Dawn - and glad you had time to get out of the city centre.. I have to remind myself where i am at times it can be so westernised.
saying that, it looks like i'm going to be leaving soon.. end of contract is looming and new visa restrictions (for the 'opening' of teh olympics) means life's getting difficult for foreigners living here. maybe heading to japan, i hope. could do with a bit more money first though!
did you manage to get the visas for europe mark? i hope so, barcelona is an amazing place.. quite different from anywhere i've ever been.
anyway, i hope you're both well, and anyone else reading this.. sad to see so few checking in.. but i'm errant too!
take care and be better x

Hey, Mark!
Everything went fine with visas and we were able to go to Barcelona! Our best luck was that we even managed to see the game - Barcelona vs Manchester!!!
Now back home, having some rest..
Hope everything works out well for you and you have a chance to move to Japan, our dear traveller))) Take care!!
