Hello - the blog is back!

I came across this page listing blogs by ‘Western women who love Chinese men’ and suddenly had a flashback to the brief period of time when I also wrote a boring blog… well when I wrote short essays every 6 months and uploaded them here. 

Now that I have reconnected with my 19 yr old self on her initial eastern experiences, I think it’s time to gradually explore my last 4 years in China and bring that one follower of mine back up to date.

This is going to be quite an epic task which I plan to tackle in short and sweet instalments HA! As if... I’m sure you can imagine a lot has happened since I moved to Kunming in Autumn 2010 for another year of study. Currently I’m living & working in the toxic wonderland of Beijing, but well today the sky is actually extremely blue.

For the moment, I just want to say 哈啰! 

This is my favourite spot in Beijing, Jingshan Park 景山公园, with the Forbidden City in the background. I had arranged to meet friends visiting from Shanghai, who called my name just as the photo was taken - hence the goofy smile and my cheek dimples. These friends are actually classmates from Edinburgh who I also studied with in Dalian. Even though we graduated several years ago and now all live in different part of the world, through our shared experiences during that first year in China we found lasting friendships and more importantly, karaoke soulmates.
