TIME FOR BREAK
As most of you have probably noticed, we stopped blogging for some time (more precisely for 6 weeks). Any particular reasons? Cez’s unexpected accident in China resulted in cancellation of his Japan cycling, my stay in Europe and an urge to have some time off with no laptops, no Internet and no social media channels.
On top of that, we felt like we needed some more travel inspiration to get back to work with new stories, ideas and budget tips. Do you know this feeling when you sit down in front of your laptop and you lack fresh ideas for your posts? You kinda feel like you burned out as a blogger and story teller?
This is how we felt … and then we realized how desperately we needed a break.
EUROPE, OH EUROPE
I spent 6 amazing and unforgettable weeks in Europe amongst my friends and family in Poland, Holland, Belgium and Crete. I was able to finally catch up with those who I neglected for months while being in China, reading some magazines, cooking, going out, etc. I am now back in China with such a positive energy and new ideas for my blog.

WHAT’S UP WITH CEZ?
While I was indulging myself in eating Dutch snacks, sunbathing on Greek beaches and exploring Brussels, Cez was rehabilitating his knee after surgery. He has been determined to get his knee back to normal as quick as possible and his progress is more than impressive. He started walking slowly, but surely and his positive attitude is now back! Moreover, he worked a lot on his oral Chinese and well, well… he took me over! Daily conversations with Chinese native speakers made him much more confident and definitely more fluent. Cez, keep it up!
We met again in Dalang after 6 weeks being apart, had some nice Chinese food and decided to get back to blogging as quick as possible. You can read more about our stories soon and thank you so much for being with us, reading our blog and supporting us all the time.
We both look forward to reading blogs of fellow budget travelers, publishing new posts and helping out those who need a hand with travel issues. We will also publish all guest posts soon!
Everyone, what have you been up to for the last month? Any cool stories to share? If so, leave a comment to keep us posted!

Welcome back to the two of you! Glad to know Cez is recovering nicely. Although, I’m a bit jealous of your rejuvenating, 6-week Europe trip, I can’t wait to read your stories especially Crete. We were on a whirlwind Europe tour castle hopping a couple of months ago and posts are up for that :) Glad to have you back in the blogsphere.
Hi Mary. Thank you so much for the kind winds. I was mostly back home, but I did some decent travels in between, but yes you should be jealous as I had a blast :)! Europe treated me way too good and I’m missing it so badly right now :). Enjoy yourself on your trip and I will check you out soon x Bon voyage!

Welcome back to the Blogosphere, guys. I’m glad to hear that Cez is recovering so well. And he’s also basically now studied abroad in Chinese, so that’s never a bad thing. Looking forward to updates!
Hey Mike. Long time no see. Thanks!! We gotta catch up. Cez’s doing so well and his Chinese WOOOOOOW has really improved in these 6 weeks when I was away :):D
