China - the week that was (no more counting)

I never did like the counting of the weeks. It made it feel like I was wishing my time here away. Plus it was getting hard to keep count.....

The week started with getting into some christmas cheer, with a shared tree and a shared meal with friends (complete with gluhwein and sticky date pudding). Then a work week full of crafting and cutting and drawing and fun. 

Nice walks on the weekend and a new coffee place. Stocking up on fruit and veg at the wet markets...little pockets of normal.

Lost in my thoughts

Sometimes there is not enough time to think, and sometimes there is too much time.  

This morning I catch myself, another flurry of activity from the moment I wake up. 

Then I notice the day - which is such a contrast from the one before. Today is blue sky and puffy clouds. The type of day you don't get to see very often around these parts. The type of day that you should spend staring out into the distance and think of nothing and everything.

Planes, trains and automobiles

Longyan. A place filled with Soviet styled architecture, new residential blocks, hotels with  big chandeliers, China's most enthusiastic taxi driver and penguins.
