The adventure is starting


Location: On my bed in Baden-Dättwil, relaxing with my sister Sofia and my cat Ronja
Frame of mind: Tired, but happy

So, the adventure begins... I got an internship! My destination is finally set: Beijing, China. And yet, I will probably see less of China during the next months than I thought at the beginning.

As part of my intenship I'm lucky to be able to travel quite extensively and you will hear more about that during the next few months, so keep reading the blog.

I'm so excited! Hope it all works out. Right now I'm working a lot (for my internship and my work at ABB), sleeping little, enjoying my time with family and friends and slowly getting ready to start my journey.

My job description: Head of European Market for Weland International - enabling students from Europe and the rest of the world to travel to China to be part of the largest Asian MUN conference - WEMUNC - the WE Model United Nations Conference and experience China as a country on the WEXPLORE Tour.

WANT TO JOIN? ;) Have a look at the video:

Great lyrics... Are you rising or coming down at the moment?


Merry go round
Solas

Someone is tossing petals in a stream
Somewhere someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams
Someone got a paintbrush, is painting over doubts
Someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out
Someone was captive and found the courage to get off
From a boulder in the well, somewhere the rain has stopped
Someone is finding the place where they belong

Everyday is summer somewhere in the world
And the summer boys are headed for the falls to kiss the girls
With their impatient hands groping honey breasts and curls
They are filled with desire
And high in the hills there's a baby being born
As forgiveness and peace wash over bruises and sores
People bridging the distance over nettles and thorns

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round
Some things will rise up so that others come down
If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow

A rich man counting money, a tired man counting sheep
While the safe man counts his blessings, the hungry man has beans
There's a million people praying, raising up their eyes
To what turns out to be the same god, the same sky
We are slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid
So we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate
We shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round
Some things will rise up so that others come down
If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow

Prisons will crumble and governments will fall
It's the order of freedom to be preceded by walls
Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied
So we carry our shame in the interest of pride
And we have all these questions to make us go roam
And we’ve got all this distance to make us come home
As the sun burns, a child learns, the tide churns, the world turns

Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round
Some things will rise up so that others come down
If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow
