Hi everyone.
I'm back and blogging again. I know it has been a very, very long time. Hopefully I do better this time. For anyone wanting to read my posts from my previous blog, I have added them to my archive under 2007.
Quick update. I am still in Zheng Zhou but am currently looking for a job in Shanghai. If anyone has some insight as to available positions there drop me a line.
The last year or so I have had very little drive to get anything done. This year I'm wanting to change that. I started writing my book again and it is progressing nicely. I am back at the gym and have put on 5Kg, can already see the difference. And I have started this blog again.
My girlfriend Maggie is doing great as are our two cats Tiger and Storm.
I am currently on New Years (Chinese) vacation until Feb. 1st, and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my friend Kevin from Canada who will be visiting for a few weeks. To give all of you an idea of the enthusiasm the New Years celebrations have here. It is 4:00pm on Jan 18th, it is still daylight and there are fireworks exploding outside my window. New years day is not until Jan 26th and the celebration will continue for at least a week after that. If you love fireworks as I do. Nobody does them better than the Chinese.

My vacation started as well.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, nobody does fireworks better than they do in China. Something to admire until it goes on for 20 days at ANY hour of the day ...
Next year that's all I'm spending my travel fund on.

Oh yes, I'm planning a next time.
