Posting and living a parents' life
You might have noticed that lately we haven't been posting much here as before, but we have a good reason for it: our first son is due to be born in early October. As new parents, we have been busy with all the things related to this unique moment: from the periodical medical examinations to preparing everything at home to receive and to nurse our baby. It's been more time consuming than we could have ever expected beforehand!
Since most of the blogging was done at night, after our working and home dues were done, we have found ourselves with little time and energy to keep this activity at the previous pace. And in the forthcoming months, when the baby is born, we should expect the trend to go worse. Of course, we will have far more important things to take care, apart from running the blog.
So, future posting will here become more sparse and difficult to predict. However, if anyone is interested in something to be published here, please don't hesitate to drop us a note and pose the request. Also, if we can be of help with the translation from and to Chinese, we are also available.
Thanks and best wishes to all of our visitors, both frequent and occasional.

2014中国教育部认可西班牙大学名单
一、基本情况
西班牙的综合性大学有公立大学与私立大学两种。目前有公立、私立大学共77所。
