Part Two : How I Said No to the Eiffel Tower

From Thailand we flew to London to spend some time with friends in Cambridge for a couple days before heading over to Paris.  Cambridge was a blast – we wandered around and drank beer in pubs (this doesn’t sound too exciting, but trust me; when you live in China, pubs are a welcome site).
We were [...]

I can’t think of anything more unromantic.

(Since China has decided to unblock WordPress I’ll be posting here, if it gets blocked again, well, you know where to find me.)
Last night we were watching Big Love and I don’t know if it was the almost three bottles of wine he had consumed (me, none, as I’m fighting a cold at the moment) [...]

I love days like this.

BF comes to the rescue!

Last week the BF and I forgot to empty the garbage before garbage day. Ooops. Blame it on our hectic lives.  So, we put out the garbage out Thursday and it sat in the bin outside, in over 30 degree weather until today.

Leaving date is confirmed for August 14th.  Yes, that [...]
