Dating a German Chapter 1

- 


I came to Germany from Italy for my Erasmus exchange just as the German government decided on a strict lockdown. I live in a small town and all the shops were closed except the supermarket. So after the 1st month, I mostly stay home and don't want to go out at all.
Still, I was excited because I was new to a place, and I've always wanted to date German guys - I think they're sexy and cool. So I used Tinder. And then I met a guy, he talked very nicely in chat, we decided to go for a walk, a long walk. It was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. I came home and didn't think much about it. The next day he asked me if I wanted to have dinner at his house sometime? And I said, um, dinner, that's too intimate for someone I just met, and I didn't like him that much. So I said no, said I was busy that day, and that was it.

2 months go by, we still write each other a few times, I don't even go out anymore as being locked up kills all my going out mood. One day I came back to Germany from Rome and I thought I should go out more, and I think he could be a good friend. So I texted the guy and suggested we meet up and reschedule our dinner. 

We met again, after 2 months, and surprisingly, dinner was really fun. We were both surprised, and we've been seeing a lot more of each other ever since. I was surprised that I can see a guy for quite long and not get bored or think of many "problems" like I always do. I find he is open, talks alot about feelings and culture. Things are developing quite extraordinarily. I just feel like we are so deeply connected in a way I've never felt before. 

And...? Things are evolving... A new journey of exploring German culture has begun here.

Marketing highlight in the B2B Technology space Sharing the company’s passion - Giving the customer value Marketing in B2B is like talking to people at work, while marketing in B2C is talking to people at home. It is usually more challenging because the product is more complex, and the marketing-sale funnel often longer in B2B. Therefore, the main difference is that marketing in B2B business should be evaluated in the long-term instead of the short term and the target audience is broader involving non-customer as well. In the technology space, marketing should constantly innovate and provide “the one” value to the customer, so that the brand stands out in the minds of potential customers when it comes to their buying decision. Let’s discuss together some marketing tactics, on how to integrate the sales and marketing function and ROI measurements in B2B marketing in the technology industry. 1.      Most appropriate tactics in the B2B technology space -  ...

I am applying for a working student job at the moment, try to make a move to Germany when I am still studying in Italy. And after a lot of application, I got this interview with a company in Berlin. We had a talk, things seem to go alright, I did my best. I did the interview while I am still working in the exposition, which is a very heavy job that I might get back to you later on other posts. But I have no choice of doing the interview in the meanwhile because when I got the invitation, I already agreed to go to work this time. So its not easy to making a call while I was working in the exhibition with massive crows and so many things going on, but I did it. And they seem to like me. I got to the 2nd round which means they gave me a technical test, it was doing a whole campaign to attract their new customers - ok way too much in my opinion. However, I am in a position that I will have to do anything to catch the opportunity. Got back from the exhibition, exhausting and I know I hav...

If you want to be happy, be.  As an Asian living in Europe, I am happy to see the crossroad of cultures between different continent or just the beauty and the ugly of our behaviors everyday. I cherished all the experience, the moments that I can enjoy and I will keep telling stories, learning more new things and live with all my love.  When I was in my home country, I was a finance manager, one of the youngest manager in my company, I have relatively good income in comparison with other people in my home country, it could be a dream income of my friends, my family. I can easily get a comfort life but I am always want to live more than just that. I believe money is just a tool, it should not be the goal, and also it never has been my proud. Left everything behind, I moved to Europe to carry on with an MBA degree, and explore a new side of the world, a side which I call somehow "my side". I planed for it for years without telling my friends or family because I know ...
