It has been a while since my wild adventures in Xi'an, but now I bare you some news of my life in Shenzhen. Since February I resumed working for the international procurement and wholesales company NitroTrade in SEG Plaza. A lot of mobile phone factories lack the Dutch translation of the phone menus and therefore a lot of work has to be put into that as well. Apart from localizing software I've also been busy with the company's website content and translation. As Regional Key Account, Deborah is concentrated on the retail business on eBay and contact between European clients and Chinese factories. Next to my Localization Executive responsibilities I will be responsible for the wholesales catalog.

Our spare time in Shenzhen has been filled with fitness, Taiji Quan, swimming and for Deborah Pilates, Belly Dance, etc. too. Because we also have a back office in Hong Kong, I regularly have to go there for work, which I often combine with my Wing Chun trainings in Yau Ma Tei at the Donald Mak Wing Chun Institute of the Chow Tze Chuen lineage.
Our flat in Shenzhen has a nice view of the border of PR China and SAR Hong Kong, with the mountains of Hong Kong revealing just a glimpse of the skyscrapers on the other side. At night you can see the border line completely lit like a wall of magical light.

Our chapter in Xi’an hasn’t been closed just yet because our motorbike and the rest of our things like clothing, books, the wooden dummy, etc. had some trouble being sent by our colleague in Xi’an, because he was not allowed by our flat security to take them out to send. And our flatmate there decided to stay in Shanghai for a couple of months, so he won’t be helping either to help the cause. If we want this matter to be done, we better do it ourselves!
