An update from Asia

Hello everyone.

It has been a while since we wrote so it is time to make some noise :). Thanks for all of your emails and comments. It is so fun to hear from you all.

Summer is approaching in Hong Kong. The weather here has been muggy, foggy and overcast for the past three weeks. The sun finally came out a couple of days ago and I get that "crazy" feeling that I use to have in Scandinavia when the sun came out......"let's cancel everything and go out and stare at the sun all day - it may not be here tomorrow or the next day...." It is nice. It is not too hot yet, so we are enjoying it.

Mattias and Heidi are now finally at the same school, which has been so fun for both of them. Heidi is enjoying her new class mates (all 6 of them) and she is loving Mrs. Fox, her teacher. Mattias is making new friends every day. He is known as "the midget man" at school :). He has a little performance that he does that is quite funny.

I attended the Asian Women's conference this weekend and was truly inspired. There are some really great women here in Asia (most of them expats) and I will share with you some of the things that I thought were great at a later time.

Henrik is working hard in China and found a fantastic Italian restaurant there which is great! He mentioned to someone at his client that he wished there were some cold drinks available......the next day when Henrik arrived into work, there was a brand new fridge fully stocked with sodas...... for HIM :) He is working on some "The Office - Asia" episodes that would be quite funny. Did you all know that the Chinese take out their mattresses at a certain time every day and lay down for a nap at work? All the 20.000 workers at Henrik's client take a nap every day. From CEO to the janitor. The lights are turned off, the phones are off and the computers are off. Then they sleep for 1 hour. What an experience.

We hope you are all well!!!!
