From Erasmus to Confucius, I finally arrived in Beijing. My friend Anna was already waiting for me at the airport. We took the airport express to the bus station and than a cab to the couchsurfers apartment. His apartment was in the center of Beijing, really small and Anna and I shared a bed we barely fitted in.

On 25th of June we ( Sharay, Mya, Michella and I) flew from Dusseldorf to Dubai. When we got out of the airport it was really hot. So hot I became red. Something I haven't felt before. I think it was approximately >40 degrees Celsius. And it was crowded and no woman to be seen.

At the airport we took a pink cab to Umm Sequim 3. It's a typical ladies taxi. Only women are allowed to travel PINK! On the main street to Umm Sequim I saw skyscrapers and even more skyscrapers. Finally we got at the Jumeira Road where the beautiful Burj Al Arab and Jumeira Beach Hotel was to be spotted. After driving, stopping, thinking and phone calls we arrived at the Palm Springs Villas where we stayed. (Hanna and Albert’s place)

Curacao O beautiful Curacao. My place of birth.

I have been going to this Island for two years in a row. Celebrating Christmas and New Year with my dear family and friends. And also for weddings, somehow all of my friends are getting married. So I probably have to go this year again. But I love it.
