At least for most of us here in China. There are of course a couple of friends still enjoying it in the Maldives (this is for you Theodora) or in France (Philippe and co).

I guess it is not too late to wish everyone a Happy New Year of the Tiger…

Like most “expats”, I escaped the mainland for 1 week’s rest in Thailand. Phuket to be precise. Not my first time there of course but always an enjoyable experience. This time no laptop, no disturbance from work. I was really able to relax.

Typical day: Stopping for a cup of coffee on the way to the pool

spend the morning reading under palm trees …

A couple of beers at lunch time with a snack

Back to the pool in the afternoon

Early evening stroll in the sunset…

Find a pleasant little restaurant for a small dinner

early to bed

A real needed break…

Been to a couple of new bars lately…

Le Bistrot du Dr Wine opened as planned a couple of weeks ago. My friend Vincent certainly did a great job with this new place.

Also of interest is Constellation 2.  Great cocktails served the Japanese way.

and not to forget Karen & Philippe’s new place called Chalet Suisse for a great fondue.
