Getting from A to B

By far, one of the best things about working at a startup is the creation process. Taking an idea and turning it into reality is very fulfilling. In my opinion, however, more than creating a finished product, the most exciting part about life at a startup is the journey itself.

我50歲的生日禮物：去台灣作身體檢查

Check out the Chinese language translation of the previous guest blog from Jerry Chen on his experience with getting a health check in Taiwan. Enjoy! 在我50歲生日的時候，我突然意識到我已經很久沒有關心過自己的健康問題了。一直以來我盡心盡力經營自己的事業，多年超負荷的工作，每天關心著訂單有沒有及時出貨，賬單有沒有支付。緊張忙碌的日子甚至不允許我有生病休息的時間。然而，人们都会自然而然的在生命里程碑一個时刻对未来的计划和关注点做出調整。此刻的我希望自己能以最好的狀態好好享受接下來50年的生活，然而我這種願望有一個實際的擔憂。我的血壓一直有過高的症狀，加之最近天氣的影響，讓我時常感受到血壓偏高的症狀。這一切促使我決定為自己預約一次全身健康檢查。我首先咨詢了我的家庭醫師，這位全科醫師繼而為我推薦了幾位專科醫師。接下來是沒完沒了的電話聯繫，我在好幾家醫院之間反覆聯繫反覆比較，此時我終於意識到身體檢查不僅是昂貴的消費，也非常耗時間

Seeking Medical Help in Paris – Où sont tous les docteurs?

Guest blogger Jenna Blewis (US) tells us about her experience navigating Paris with an injured knee. I have a horrible habit of over-packing for vacation, so I was not thrilled to find that there was not a single elevator in my Parisian apartment building.

My Bulgarian Dental Odyssey: A Happy Ending
