This Blog is about loving and living in Shanghai. 25 Million Chinese and US! - two "lao wais" (foreigners) called Paul and Angelika who are living right in the heart of the city.Not one day passes where we don´t get fascinated by living here as this place is full of stories and adventures. Big ones, small ones and of coarse our very personal one. You are warmly invited to experience some of these adventures with us and to find out that after all Shanghai is only just a little more crazy than other parts in the world. It´s all a matter of perspective :-). Welcome to our home and to the GOLDLINCOLN Blog!

My dream coming true..



Everyone has a dream in his life. Mine started forming when we went to travel India 2 years ago.

I was fascinated by this country which is so different to anywhere else I have been to in this world.  They say, that "You either love it, or hate it". I fell head over heel in love with it from the first day on and ever since  I wanted to return again for some time.

You probably wonder why. But I have so many and no words to describe what it is like. If you wanted to get an idea I could only share some moments I captured during our vacation back than. Feel free to take a look if you want CLICK HERE.

Every day the world is asking us to take on new challenges, new identities, improved skills and productivity. But what we forget in all of this effort is to keep in touch with our base, the most essential of all of it - ourselfes. Our mind, our  breathing, our heart and our soul.

For a long time it has been  my dream to return to India, to re-discover my base and to  learn how to never loose touch again despite all the waiting challenges out there.

Today my plane is taking off to take me to a yoga and ayurvedic retreat high up in the mountains of Kerala. I can not tell you how excited I am to go on this one month journey, not only to India, but to myself.

And therefore we are taking a little break here.
Not only from the blog, also emails, mobile phones - switch OFF!

I want to say "Thank you" to my friends and family who have encouraged me to do take this step and supported me in my decision - any decision in my life.

But most of all, and not only because it is Valentines Day I want to thank Paul who will be spending Valentines day evening saying good bye to me at the airport and the coming weeks without me.

My dear Paul:
Thanks for beeing a wonderful husband,
for sharing my path,
for supporting me in my decicions
for believing in my dreams,
sometimes more than I do.
Thanks for letting me go,
and come back again
You are my life, my HOME!

I love you.
and I will miss you!
