Have I mentioned before how I love to travel but I sometimes hate the traveling part? That’s how I feel right now. Yesterday was another fun-filled day at several airports. I was supposed to leave Vancouver for Houston at 8AM… We finally left at 1PM. Why the delay? Evidently, the mechanic “left the plane on” [...]

I don’t care much for outward signs of patriotism, I don’t need to show off to anyone how I feel about my country, but come election day, I wear [...]

I’m pretty detached from world events at the moment – despite having BBC in the hotel room here in Qingdao. I just can’t deal with the US election right now – all that negativity, name calling and mudslinging, etc. It really gets to me. I don’t like any of the candidates anyway, and I will [...]

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. ;)
