Bring on the Night

Ok – ok, I may not be a Spike, but I do eat out at times. As hard as it is to drag C off to a restaurant, I still try to on some rare occasions. Moneys tight at the moment, but that’s expected. We only have one income and therefore have to watch every […]

… this Sunday my missus and I have our 2nd year wedding anniversary. Last year I bought C some jewellery and some luxury underwear. After opening the presents she was extremely happy. She also told me to not buy her anything next year, but if I had to, it shouldn’t be expensive. If I wanted to […]

23rd July 2007 Yilan Another cool nights of sleep. I’m still dizzy, but it doesn’t feel as bad as before. Not quite sure yet though, as I had done nothing but go to the toilet and sit in bed and write up on the last days doings. C went to eat breakfast at her parents […]

22th July 2007 Gao Leng Woke up 30 minutes before C was ready to get up. I couldn’t sleep anymore, even though I badly needed the rest and didn’t sleep much or well that night. I put my lappie under my arm and headed down the stairs of the computer school and plugged her in. […]

10th July 2007 Yilan Wrote a bit about yesterday in the morning. We got up at 7am and C saw an opportunity to go for breakfast at her parent’s home. This interrupted my plans for doing all of the writing about yesterday, but no sweat, I weren’t far behind anymore. We walked to her parents […]

2nd July 2007 Beijing 8.20am I was fully refreshed again from a good 8 hours sleep. Not sure the jet-lag is gone, but sure feels that way right now. Ate breakfast at the hotel diner for 10RMB. Ok breakfast. Nothing fancy, but the food did what it was meant to do. We were full as […]

1th July 2007 Beijing Landed in Beijing 35 min after schedule. The passport business was easier than expected, though the laowai line was slower that the one my wife could use. The officer checking out my papers was fast and smiling. I would be smiling too, if I had 5 buttons for the costumers to […]
