Yang from Shang-Hai

Yang from Shang-Hai, another couchsurfing guest whose company I enjoyed last week, another young Asian lady who found her way to my couch by means of http://www.couchsurfing.org/
....a comprehensible bike ride and the by now habitual Nasi Special Pork at the Kam Yin in the Warmoesstraat...

Yang was a typical victim of the Chinese one-child-policy, spoiled to the max by party member parents who had hardly any time for their one and only child due to party obligations, their daughter being used to a gran array of nannies from the Chinese hinterland speaking different dialects, who helped her through her childhood, parents who would make up their neglect by expensive gifts and costly private schooling...

Yang went to The States to study architecture "I like looking at buildings, Hans" and on to Kopenhagen in the Land of the Danes because it would look good on her resumé...

Being well into her twenties she was still unsure of what to do in her life, what direction to choose, still living on her dad's dough, always slightly bored with her surroundings, never wanting to go back to her native China, or maybe "no wait, maybe I do wanna go back soon"...
