Farewell to 2008 and welcome 2009 (再见2008;你好2009)

So we are going to say good-bye to 2008 and welcome 2009. My life has changed a lot during the year 2008. Below are some big events :

1) Quit job - leave Citibank after serving the bank for four years!
2) Obtain Japanese PR - Wow, I have been living in Japan for 10 years and Japan has become my second hometown!
3) Travel around Europe - my first time and I visited 5 schengen countries!

For many people, 2008 is a year full of turbulence and the year has seen a historic collapse in the financial market. we never know what will happen but let's do have a bright hope for 2009! :-)
