Is China the New “Land of Opportunity?”
It’s not new news when I say we’re in a bit of a pickle with economics nowaday…especially stateside. And, as I am closing in on my initial 1 year contract here in Shanghai, the question still lingers with what’s on tap for the next? I miss parents, family, friends, the familar, communication, civilization, fresh air [...]

Got Cupped
(Disclaimer: This is NOT me in this pic.)
Yup, I did it. Why? Welllllllll… Lovely Spring Saturday afternoon plus a cramped up neck (for me) and ill-stricken Kim prompted us both to make a visit to the “Blind Man Massage” spot. I was introduced to this place by word of mouth. First Nathan, then Ralph, then [...]

Earth Rocks Rudd!

Kids’ Reminder: K.I.S.S.
CUTE ALERT! CUTE ALERT! CUTE ALERT! (K, just had to get that outta my system…plus! I’m sure that was an attention grabber…)
One of my many mottos is: “Simplicity is Bliss.” I just see no use in complicating things if need not be. Life as it is, and all things questioned-marked that comes with it, hits [...]

True Rewards
Yeah, I know I’ve been taking the cop-out route with regards to updating my blog lately via my co-signs rather than personal reflections/observations etc. out here (though, they are just as important components in the make-up of yours truly, teeheehee).

BEIJING & THE GREAT WALL > Flicks
OK, lots and lots and lots of laughs on this trip with some hilarious, fun-loving dudes. Prior to going on this trip, I was linked up via my friend Ralph here with his old college bud, Rodney who currently resides in Beijing. Life of expats here is so interesting; the more you meet, the more [...]
