Reflections ... and plans for 2011

Can't believe it's already one month since Christmas! After spending almost all of our vacation days on our Asia-trip last year, we did not plan anything special for the end of the year - we spent the Christmas, as usually, with our families in Romania,

2010 - Karacsony Szilveszter

followed by a short, 4-day-skiing break in Grindelwald, where we also spent the New Years's Eve, visited (twice) our favorite Mexican restaurant (*El Azteka, for those interested to try the best Mexican food in Europe, accompanied by live music) and had fun in the snow:

From Grindelwald

And here we are, back to business and normal life - not sure if it's entirely 'normal' though with all the challenges waiting for us this year:
* German exam, which we still owe to ourselves since our last year's new year resolution (no more excuses this time, we have finally signed up to take the Goethe ZMP next Saturday),
* European Qualifying Examination - second part (for Zoli, of course)
* Starting my job in Zug (more about this in a later post)
* Searching for apartments in Zug (by the way, this one can be ticked out from the list today :-))
* Moving home
... and of course our regular yearly plans and desires for enjoying life in Switzerland and traveling as much as we can (no exact plans for our next big holiday, but it seems that we have a lack of travel experience in the southern hemisphere :D)
