After teaching many years in Canada, I moved to China in 2007 for a different experience. Teaching a few more years, and seeing a bit more of the world at the same time, seemed like a better idea than retiring.

An avid motorcyclist (over 60, 000km of North American road trips during the last five summers), I now ride a Chang Jiang 750cc sidecar bike here in Wuhan.

Wow!
Sure looks like you two have figured out how to have the good life! You both look terrific! No sunbathing here, but it's warmer than usual. Cheers from Canada and Paul and Merrilyn!

Food
Hey Nancy and Steve, I noticed the durian in photograph 29. Have you had the pleasure of enjoying this delicacy yet? Quite nice here, -3 this morning and no new snow, about a foot on the ground. Ken

Verrrry nice!
You both look terrific - the new life style is definitely agreeing with you. Obviously not missing Canadian winters!! Although I had a lovely xc-ski today at China Ridge. The weather here has been quite "balmy" at +5C not like the old days of -25C. Wish you both all the best for 2010

Haven't tasted it yet!
