The Two Geeks

Artificial intelligence ? No thank you, I don’t need crutches.

A WordCamp will be happening on Sunday here in Shanghai and the keynote speaker is Mr. Wordpress himself–Matt Mullenweg. I am dying to attend the event. I didn’t know about it until yesterday and I am glad that it is not over yet. I still have the chance to join the event.

I have emailed the […]


Free Internet in Shanghai

We got here in Shanghai on June 30. When we finally arrived at our hotel, the first thing I searched for is an internet connection. I was itching to blog but I needed an internet connection for something which is more important like looking for a flat and sure enough, the 102 Euro per night […]


Office for the Day

 

I got tired of sitting in our home office so I decided to sit by the window in our bedroom. This would be my office for the day. It’s nicer here. I can get a little bit of sun and fresh air without having to go outside. The sun is shining brightly however the temperature […]


Lost in Beijing

We recently watched a movie entitled “Lost in Beijing”. It was Marcus who found it in the DVD shop. It’s a Chinese movie that has raised controversy and received a lot of positive criticism from film critics.
This movie is a hot item because it’s being banned by the government and I can imagine why. But […]


Why Are We Still Here?

The one thing I love about being in China is that everything is way cheaper. I can get a new nice sweater with 30RMB (approximately 3 Euro) and if I go to Walmart with 500 RMB (50 Euro), my cart will be overflowing with grocery stuff. Also, dinning out is cheap, way cheaper than cooking […]


It’s unimaginable what these DVD/CD shops have. China is known to be the world’s leading manufacturer of fake and copied products. If you are in China it is not very difficult for you to be able to wear signature stuff. You name it they have it here for very low prices. And some of the […]


A Geek’s Day

Wake up at 6:30 and prepare a breakfast for Marcus.
At 7:00 Marcus leaves for work and I have 30 minutes to clean up the breakfast table, make the bed, and fix myself up.
At 7:30 I am in my office (which is also in our house). First I log in to my YM and then check […]


Anna is among those Filipinas who are blessed enough to get a job outside the country. She came to China to teach English last year. I met her in one of those Filipino gatherings and to cut the story short, we became friends.
Daniel is among those Germans who blindly accepted an engineering job in China. […]


Marcus’ Baby

Marcus refers to this car as his “baby” and he is very proud of it. Why? Because he was a part of this project when he was in Germany. The finest project he was a part of so far or so he claims. I remember when there was a Car Exhibition in Changchun we attended […]
