During the last two weeks, my parents and my brother came to Shenzhen. Well, they didn’t all came together, so I could forward to seeing them again three times!

The first one to arrive was my dad, who is coming to Shenzhen to work for one year! I spend the weekend with him, but he’s probably spend more time in Shenzhen than me, so I didn’t have to show him a lot of the city. I was really happy to see him again and I’m looking forward to spend time with him in China during the next half year!

With my dad we went to look for an apartment. After one day of looking at apartments, we rented an apartment in a gated community in an area called Hi-tech park. It’s really a Hi-tech park, because living there feels like living in the future! Our apartment is in the 22nd floor and is really nice.

The next family member to arrive was my brother. He came to China together with his friend. First they spent a few days in Shenzhen, then they traveled a little in South China and then they came back to Shenzhen. During the days they were in Shenzhen, we spent a lot of time together, I showed them a little around and we went to almost all the nice places in Shenzhen. Having my brother here is really nice, because he and I together are full of energy and funny ideas….

To complete the family, my mom also arrived here a little more than one week ago. For my mom I had a perfect surprise. When she arrived she thought I was still working and I could only meet her later, but I got off work earlier and kept myself hidden in our apartment. I turned off all the light and when she came in, I jumped out of my room!

Right now I’m on my way to Hongkong together with Oli and Seven and I will right my next blog about our time in Hongkong!
