574 spam messages. That’s what you get when you feel a little under the water and haven’t been looking at your blog much. Fortunately, I have this nifty spam filter that only missed 4 spam comments out of 574.

What else is going on? I am in Hong Kong and trying to get ahead of all the pressing things I have to do for Cosima Inc, which accumulated during our extended stay in Berlin. It’s all the more pressing because the Chinese New Year celebrations start soon. That’s when roughly 1.3 billion people stop working, board crowded trains to their birth place, and celebrate with their families. In short… Christmas x 10. As my suppliers tell me, it’s also the time when quite a lot of workers decide that their last place of work pays not well enough, and they leave for greener pastures.

China’s economy is booming, and who wants to work in manufacturing when the service sector promises lighter work and better pay? What kills me is that Western media still thinks that China will take over the world by manufacturing everything cheaper, and start World War III. Here is the inside scoop: they are much too busy eating abalone, and carrying Chanel bags.

To wind down, I have been watching LA Ink. Please tell me why she wants to get a boob job. I don’t understand the world anymore.

Adria Pictures

Category: photos, travel — Cosima @ 10:30 pm

We should be inside a plane heading for Hong Kong at the moment, but little man has fever and I have a cold, so we decided to stay in Berlin for a few more days.

Which gave me time to sort through pictures I took at our previous travel stop, located at the beautiful Adriatic coast in the south east of Europe.
