Traveling to China

Well, today is the day when I will exchange my home country Slovenia for China for 14 days. I have a flight to Frankfurt from Brnik at 12.15 and from Frankfurt I will fly directly to Shanghai.
I have 2 suitcases...one is for business porpuses and the other one is for my clothes. The sizes of both cases are almost the same...:)
That means that I have a lot goals to fulfil for a company and I hope I will be successful.
So, wish me luck, have your fingers crossed for me or something like that... :)

I get home in the evening at 4th of July. Since then I wont accept phone calls but I will be reachable for an SMSes. So, please send some to me :) I will be very happy about it and ofcourse, I WILL reply!

Have fun here at Slovenia! For me too...
Ow, I will try to write some posts on a blog while living there!

Last Saturday and Sunday before China

Since I am going to travel to China this Wednesday, this weekend is the last one before it. So I tried to fulfil it as much as possible with the stuff I like to do.
Fot the Saturday I was planning to go on a hike to one of the Rinka's summits with Litija Mountaineering Club. But when I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning, rain was falling from the sky and nearby hill was totally surrounded with a fog. That is why I just sent SMS to Maja, that I am not coming to the prearranged meeting spot. But after few hours, Maja called me to tell me that at the Kamniška Bistrica the weather was perfect. This was a moment when I just sit in my car and I pushed throttle to the bottom to be there as soon as possible.
If Maja wouldnt called me, I would went to visit Nina, Jana and Primoz to the Primorska province. But when she called me and told me that the weather is perfect overthere, I just couldnt resist to go to check it out.
After finding right path (the path I needed to use to get to the Bivak pod Skuto to meet others from Maja's group is not marked, so I was counting on my map and my sense for orientation to find that bivouac), I ascended more than 1000m higher as the point where I started walking is. I spent 3 hours for that. Because the map I was using is not really the best one, I almost hit Bivak pod Skuto because of a fog which was sorrounding it.
But when I wanted to take a photo of a little bivouac under Skuta's peak, I found out that I forgot to insert CF card into my photo camera, so carrieng whole photo gear with me was useless :( That is why I can not show you pictures from the trip.
Today...I was on a picnic at my aunt's place. After that I went to Velenje to see competition of horse carriages and horse gallops. It was hot and sunny, so pictures are not very good due to the strong brightness and very sharp light...

I have a need, a need to tell you this

Are you asking yourself, what is that I need to tell you?
Hehehe, well, this is mybe the best success that I have had since I have my photo camera.
Last October I sent this picture to the editor of Planinski Vestnik (short PV) magazine and to be honest, my hopes that he will use that picture in one of next issues of PV faded out until now.
But...there is always but...2 days ago I got a call from Bojan and he told me that there is my picture at the front page of PV...I was so suprised that I almost forgot to speak and to express my enthusiasm, so there was a few seconds of silence...:) And in next minute I run downstairs to get my own issue of PV( I am a subscriber of PV too but nobody told me that it came home with a post that day) to see it...
And...here it is:
That is all.
Owww, by the way...next Wednesday I have a flight to China :S Have your fingers crossed for me please...I need all the luck in the world to do the best I can!

P.S.: Does anybody need something from there? I accept orders now :) Until this moment I have got so much orders that I would have to rent a shipping container to get everthing (if I will find all ordered stuff) to Slovenia....hehehe, I am joking a little bit :P

Report and climbing again

Well, I've got few E-mails with the questions about my final interview, so I quess it is time to tell (write) some words about it.
I met my future boss 2 Fridays ago and we discussed almost everthing about China thing. After all, we didnt talk in English. I assumed that if I would asked him something like that he would saw me like somebody who is not self-confident. So, that is why I didnt do that.
He proposed me to visit China at the end of June to see if job overthere is what I am expecting.
But last Friday he called me and he asked me if I would come there as soon as I would have time to do that. So, today I finally sent him my "duty" calendar and I think I will go there in next 14 days. And I will spend there 10-14 days to get the filling about the job that I am applying for and to get the close view of China also.
I am very glad that he gave me a chance for close view and for a possibility to say NO if i would not like it.
Today, Bojan, one of my the best friends, gave me Lonely Planet China and Chineese phrase book. He owns that books bacause few years ago he went there to see Chinese's way of living and their's Culture.
I tried to read some Chinese translations and I almost break my tongue while doing it ;) It is really hard language to speak.

Yesterday I went to Kotečnik rock-climbing area to test my right shoulder. More than a month and a half ago I injured it while climbing some serious routes. The injury was so bad that I just couldnt rise my arm more than 20 cm. After month and a half I finally dont feel any pain in my shouder when I load some pressure to it. But, because I didnt want to injure my shoulder again, I climbed just few easy routes. Afterwards I just watched other climebrs and took some pictures of them.
