Welcome to my blog!
Well, never thought the need to have a blog, although it has already become as common as email these days. The reason is simple, and in summary – no time, no energy and most importantly, no events! However, my placement with UNDP in Namibia grants me the superb reason to set up my own finally – come on, Africa!! How many people around you would think of going to Africa and how many of them have actually come to Africa, and how often you would come to Africa – it’s almost like an once-in-a-lifetime thing.
I will be staying in Windhoek, which is the capital city of Namibia, for the next six months. I am not a backpacker, neither a luxury traveller/tourist, I am a Junior Professional Consultant (JPC) working with the UNDP Namibia under limited funding. As a result, during my stay, I would more or less live like a local person. I know six months is not long enough to fully understand a country or even a city, but I do believe that this experience will help me savour a good taste of the city as well as the country, and learn better of the Namibian issues and hopefully open the door to understand Africa in general.
I promise that I will update my blog on a regular basis, at least during the six-month’s duration. So for those of you who are interested to know my adventures here, and for those who are concerned of my life here, please check my blog when you miss or think of me. You should be able to find my latest journals along with photos. And, your comments are always welcomed here.
And, I want to thank you all for your support, concern and love! I wish you all well and I miss you all!
Warmly yours,
Xu

Hi Xu, so is this where you live? It looks so nice and cozy. You look very happy there and I must say, you look very good-always smiling! Just picture us having a nice glass of red wine, sitting back and laughing as usual. Or, having one of our more serious talks. iether way, we miss you and wish you all the best there!
Thanks Crystal. I wish you guys could come here for a vist. What I have posted is just part of Namibia. Wait when I get chance to go a bit further to the Dunes, the Coast, and the wild park, that will be more like Africa.
This place is a temp place, actually it's my current roommate Celine's residence (She's from France, kind of similar situation like me, but she will stay here for one year.) We are looking for a place for three persons with another girl from Spain, Maite.
Miss you guys, miss the time we spent together and miss the cold air in Canada!
Hope all is well, give a kiss to Briar and a hug to Jeffy ;)
P.S. Thanks for your comments, I actually feel like quite ugly, because I feel my face is swollen because of the heat :(
Oh you look great. You always look great Xu. I know what you mean though, doesn't matter what other people say, it's how you feel about yourself that really matters.
I had a nice long chat with Mark last week. I think I was falling asleep because it was so late. Those guys are night hawks where I am a morning person. Mark sounds like he is doing okay, misses you of course!
I'll keep checking back!
Have lots of fun:)
