Would it be possible to live without the designer coffee,the Kate Spade bags,the technology that were a part of my everyday existence? Could stripping away some of those items and habits make me aooreciate what I have? I created a plan. Each month for one year, I would choose one of my favorite things and give it up,cold turkey,for one month. This would become my year to live with less...

January...----Alcohol...
When I woke up with flannel on my teeth, a tribal pounding in my head, and a feeling of mental queasiness that could only be remedied by a Denny's breakfast, I uttered those famous last words," I am never drinking again," followed by those other famous words," I mean it."
Even though at that moment I was in no position to make clear decisions, I needed to regain control of my life or at least my ability to stand up without the room spinning. Push had come to shove and I was ready to strike a de… Continue

My year to live better with less...Dec....---Multitasking
Like most people. I was stressed out, overscheduled, and tripping over the clutter of my days until I decided to take control and simplify my life. Each month I renounced one thing: shopping, elevators, newspapers, cell phones, dinning out, televition, coffee, cursing, chocolate, and multitasking. During the course of the year, I took stock of my life,discover what was really important, and gained a deeper appreciation for the world around me...

"Each month I renounced one thing: shopping, elevators, newspapers, cell phones, dinning out, televition, coffee, cursing, chocolate, and multitasking" With the exception of elevators and cell phones I had no choice but to give up those things on moving to China- none are accessible to laowai in Longgang, SZ.
Keep it up!

以下是一些逸闻。
德国一对情侣人小鬼大，2009年元旦破晓时分，趁父母熟睡时打算私奔远赴非洲结婚，前往机场途中被警方发现，由父母带回家。这对小情侣是6岁 的米克及比他大一岁的女友安娜莱娜，他们计划由安娜莱娜5岁的妹妹担任证婚人，到非洲结婚。三人趁着双方父母在跨年派对后好梦正酣之时，收拾行装包括太阳 眼镜、气垫床、夏季服装、泳装及干粮等，从北部城市汉诺威的家出发，步行1公里到电车站后，再乘电车到中央车站，准备搭乘火车到机场。警方发言人尤赖茨科 表示，米克在跨年派对中向安娜莱娜提到早前在意大利度假的经历，“于是他们开始计划将来”。尤赖茨科形容这对小情侣“深爱对方”，他笑称：“他们可以在长 大后实现结婚计划。”

Cheers!

Gie said… - Hi Viv !
So it was a change to take juice instead of alcohol?! A good way to start the new year ; ) .
Its more dangerous then if you still need to drive a car after drinking. You can sleep, but only after driving. ... As always, I find my bed.. the right bed, the right apartment, the right door.. It isn't hard esp if my aprtment is always the choice.. : )
Hv a nice year ahead !! Let's drink to that !! :)

- Hi Viv !
It was perfectly fine to read it..

I hope u that whenever u drink that u always leave a little sanity to enable you to know where your apartment door is.
Let me know if you are interested to finish my bottle of wine.
Cheers !!

Paul Prengel said… - Hi Habiba
You have posted some very nice pictures and some intruiging writing - lots of talent. How do you not do shopping for one month ?
Surprisingly though Shenzhen is a real big city there is still lots of nature to observe. In fact I used to watch eagles in Shekou, one even caught some prey off a street nearby the NanShan. Since moving back to Germany I really miss the warm Shenzhen weather and the friendliness of most people.
Cheers
Paul
