I will freely admit that I was a dirty kid. I am not embarrassed. My mom is probably cringing as she reads this, but it’s true. I did not like washing my hands and I hated baths. Turns out that might be why I am so healthy!

I'm an American expat living on the fringe of Chinese society. Thanks to a lifetime spent moving around, I often feel like an outsider. This blog explores life in Beijing, China, the occasional aviation topic, expat issues, random travel experiences and interesting things I see, read and hear. If you want to know more about my latest hobby, visit Sewing on the Fringe, where I blog about learning to sew in Beijing. And for daily documentation of Beijing's ever changing air quality, visit My Beijing Window. And, yes, I do wear my santa hat year-round. ;)

No antibacterial soaps or gels in this house…good old resistance! and access to health care (thankfully)! I can see her now…”oh Heather!”
Yes! here’s to dirt under the finger nails!
A couple of years back I worked with children at a ritzy ski resort in the states, a good portion of the kids who came in were so allergic to peanuts that we weren’t allowed to have peanut butter on toast for breakfast, let alone a snickers bar at lunch.
btw, when you commented on our site for some reason there was no back link or email address to contact you, usually, unless we’re traveling, we do respond to comments.
The allergies!! I just don’t get it. No one was allergic to anything but penicillin and bees when I was a kid! And with that comment I am now officially old!
