First of all, I want to tell you that I am still preparing the other blog posts. Another even more important point is that we are back in Germany right now and won't return to China anymore. It is not possible for us to do so. While we were travelling in Asia, China banned all... Continue Reading →
While Europe got hit by the new virus named "Corona" or "Covid19", we had to part with China and our studies. Although the Chinese government is great at managing and preventing the virus from further spreading, our University still hasn't provided any useful information about the start of the new semester. A month has passed... Continue Reading →
After we've been to Guangxi we continued with our journey to the province of Guizhou. Compared to Guangxi and Guangdong Guizhou is a very different place. Guiyang, the capital city of Guizhou province, is a never-ending construction sight. With a population of about 5 million people (this is an old number from 2016, so the... Continue Reading →

Moving at a stunning speed of about 300 km/h you can look out of one of the big windows and appreciate the... Continue Reading →
A country full of contrasts but also homogeneities. Soon you will understand. Very exhausted and kind of confused concerning the time zones, we started our journey with the second we stepped on Chinese soil. Very strong Visa controls, especially affecting the Indians and Pakistanis, withheld us from leaving the airport. After passing the Visa control... Continue Reading →

Here, in Germany, you should start dealing with this problem a whole year before going abroad. 1.Scholarship If I had to choose... Continue Reading →
I am going to travel to a country I have never been to. People are asking me if I am scared. I tell them the truth. Why should I lie to them? First of all, I am not travelling on my own. Nine months ago my girlfriend and I decided to undertake, then it seemed,... Continue Reading →
