Lol, my best friend in the US gave me the blue earrings a few years ago. I just found the silver pair on the street last night. Cross-cultural earrings!

Spring in Xinzheng
21 MarSpring is arriving in Xinzheng! I went for a walk in the river park with some friends yesterday. We were hunting for fishies and we caught some! Harry was out in the middle of one of the koi ponds balancing on the pots, it’s a miracle we didn’t end up with a soaked, stinky Harry 🙂 the trees were flowering, the weÖather was lovely, what a great day!
New Fiverr Gig! ~ Postcard from China
28 FebI have a new gig on Fiverr! I’m sending postcards to people from China! Doesn’t that sound like fun? I know I would have had fun with it when I was a kid. I used to collect all the foreign stamps I received, dreaming of the path the package had taken to get to me 🙂
Anyway, I’ve started a new gig on the program Fiverr. You purchase it for $5 +.80 cents shipping and I’ll send the postcard out within 2 business days. They will include a message in Chinese too! 🙂 Link is here.

I Want Him for My Own

I love this set of Training Chopsticks! Eating with chopsticks is hard work, and the trainers help. But this one is so cute I’d buy it anyway just for adorableness factors! They are available from OldShanghaiOnline, and only cost $5.95. Maybe I’ll have some shipped to me. 🙂
辛年快乐! (Xīn nián kuài lè) Happy Chinese New Year’s!
20 Feb
Chinese New Year’s Celebration in Xinzheng, Henan, China. The fireworks were beautiful! There were 8-10 sets of fireworks going off all around us all at once, and the sounds echoed like gunfire or shots. It was everywhere, and it was glorious! I’ve never been close enough and high enough, but the fireworks were right in front of us at eye level!
