It was better than Christmas. After months of separation, after countless chats via skype, after what felt like hundreds of emails, the day had arrived. I had waited for 8 months with breath that was bated for this day. June 21, 2007 was the day my family arrived in Beijing for a week-long visit. It was a week filled with excitement, drama, angst, confusion, humor, awe, and random sound effects. ... Read Full Entry

I hope that this blog of my experiences living and traveling abroad is able to facilitate multicultural understanding for those who don't have the time or opportunity to travel.

Good grief! Your wrote a small novel here! Ai ya! Nevertheless I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. That dog is awesome! Poor fella is all tuckered out...so cute.

This is the REAL Message!
Please disregard the first comment. I hit the Enter button by mistake. Anyway, I was saying that your blog pages would stretch ALMOST to China--or perhaps almost FROM China to here! It was wonderful to relive our entire trip through your eyes. Reading it took about the same amount of time as experiencing it did! (only joking--mostly) I think that it was one of the most amazing times we have spent together, and your blog is a humerous and historical perspective on it all. I can see why you are torn about leaving China. When I see the pictures, I wish I were back there, too! Of course, it may also be because of the wonderful daughter who is still on the other side of the world. . . Love, Mom
