• Why do I do this to myself? Out of a fit of boredom today, I spent the afternoon browsing Spain blogs, mostly maintained by expats. I am now utterly homesick. All I want to eat is fabada and chorizo. All I want to drink is sidra and la rioja. All I want to do is hike in the Picos and hang out in small Spanish cities. When will I get the chance!?

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.

Oh yeah, I do this to myself sometimes too. The *worst* thing you can do in this case is eat Spanish food in China. It will only make things worse.
I’m so glad to meet another introvert in blogosphere. I once wrote a post about how hard it is to be an introvert in a family of extreme extroverts. I bet you will get it. http://blogs.sun.com/melinchina/entry/introvert
Yay for introverts! I totally relate to your post and know exactly how you feel as I’m married to a major extrovert. Living with introversion is something that I am going to be focusing on a lot more on the blog, as soon as our big announcement is made and subsequent changes subside a bit. Stay tuned!
Pretty normal response, I think.
It happens to me all the time. Maybe I should step away from the Internet occasionally!
