The clock is ticking – only 3 months left in 2011.


Time flies so fast. Some friends and cousins have babies this year. Some colleagues move on to new positions. I can feel the peer pressure. But I’m afraid any change will break my balance.

I don’t know if I can take a job which is over 3 km from home. Beijing has been growing explosively in recent years. Commuting between home and office is a miserable experience, no matter you are in your own car, a taxi or any public transportation. Stuck in the middle of the streets, I always feel sick, literally. The only reason I’m still here is I work at SPE and the only reason I work at SPE is its office is 3 km from home. Sounds like a trap…
