From Berlin to Beijing

I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be in China for two weeks now!

My husband and me are taking the plane from Berlin to Beijing today. You probably know you can't use sites like Blogspot, Twitter or Facebook in China, so most likely you won't hear from me for a while. :(

I will only try to post on this site in German while I'm there: http://blog.sina.com.cn/juliazaizg

My husband and I are planning to celebrate our wedding a second time with his family in China on 31th December, which is also the day when we became a couple and, one year later, got engaged. So yeah, it's really nice to also get married on this special day. :)

Our wedding is also the reason why I went to the hair salon yesterday to get a new hair color.

If you follow my blog you might know that my hair first was really blonde and then I dyed it dark brown... but for my wedding pictures I wanted to have a nice light caramel shade.

So I decided to get my hair done and I'm really surprised how great it turned out!

It is really worth to spend more money on dying your hair instead of using many cheap drugstore products, which totally damaged my hair. -_- *lesson learned*

Ok I need to go now... we're driving to Berlin now to catch our plane at 19.45... see you in two weeks! I promise to make a blog post about China when I'm back! (○´∀`) ♥♥♥ 

Berlin

Yesterday my husband and I were in Berlin to go shopping and eating in a restaurantー♪

When we arrived in Berlin we saw the christmas market and Berlin's infamous christmas tree, which is made of garbage...

Some christmas decorations 

Disney christmas decoration! ヽ(^◇^*)/ 

Entry hall of "Ka De We" shopping mall.

Then we finally went to the Chinese restaurant!

 We drank Chrysanthemum tea, my favourite tea ever!

 Taro rolls and jiaozi in chili oil. Both were so yummy! I love jiaozi but it was my first time to try the taro rolls and they so good! Outside they are crispy and inside they have a soft, sweet filling.

This is the filling of the taro rolls. It's purple and kinda tastes like bean paste, very sweet!

 Shao Mai

 This is meat with sticky sweet sauce, but the ourside is very crispy!

 Egg tarts! I love them so much! ヽ(*´∀｀)ﾉ They have a sweet hot egg cream inside, so yummy!

Rice and eggplant.

After finishing our meal we went shopping again. It became dark very early.

And here are the two things I found:

 A bleack warm "Berlin" scarf.

And a black/white sweater from Tommy Hilfiger. It's great fpr cold weather and super comfortable!

We wanted to eat at KFC in the eveing but we were too full from the Chinese food. -_-

By the way, I finally bought my first alpaca plushies online! It's a set with three "baby alpacas" which are 10cm small. They are light pink, beige and white. I am so looking forward o getting them! Here is a picture:

But I still hope I will have a big one later!

Two little purchases and UFO-Catcher

Today at school my friend and I drank mulled wine, because they sell it right next to our school. :D

It wasn't that bad because we only had 2 lessons and we usually never do this. 

After school I went to the city to buy a surprise for my beloved guinea pigs:

It's a toy, a gnawing stone and some snacks. ♥

After that, I went to a stationary shop and bought two black fineliners. I want to draw more often and I need these to draw the black outlines after making a sketch.

I walked past the UFO catchers on the christmas market and noticed they had Doraemon plushies! I never played UFO catcher before, but this time I wanted to give it a try. 

And I really won!

This made me so happy! I went home with a smile on my face, because winning this plushy made me so proud. :D

In the evening my hubby and I went grocery shopping and now we are playing Skyward Sword again, like we always do. ^-^
