I have been in China for almost 6 months now. I have made a few tiny trips out of town but in general I have been passing the days in Beijing. In summary I have to say I am loving it. Although I am never *strike* not always happy to go to work at 7.30 in the morning, I feel intensely happy and lucky every evening when I am on my way home for a relaxing evening or prepping up for a hang-out with friends.

I went out shopping with my Canadian friend the other day at 西直门(Xi Zhi Men). Important to note here is that my Canadian friend is black.

It is Tuesday night and my phone rings at bloody 4 am in the morning. My colleague – semi-drunk – on the other side of the phone is surprised that I am asleep. Whatever dude, just get to the point. Crazy semi-drunk colleague was having a drink (or hundred) with three of his Chinese amigas and they thought it would be an excellent idea to wake me up and ask me whether I could hook his three friends up with any of my lao wai friends.
