Bring Me Chocolate, Call Me Son

I’m not sure if future mother-in-laws go to a special day-camp for training on how to impress their future son-in-laws, but I wouldn’t be surprised. Maggie mom just arrived from Dalian on a 23+ hour train ride. Rather than bring things she may need to make her stay more comfortable, she instead brought me chocolate …

Give the Gift of Love – Give Chicken

Anyone that’s been in China for more than six minutes has been hounded by a plethora of bowl weilding beggars looking for your chinky bits (and no, that’s not a racial slur). Rumours abound about these unfortunate, often elderly or massively under-abled, people. I’ve heard tales that they are pimped out by the local triads, …

Da Pubu, Xiao Pubu

I’ve been doing my best this last week to get out and see this place where I live with fresh eyes. It started with me looking at things and going, “What would Maggie think of that?” and now has me giddy in the hopes that next year, as my wife, I’ll be able to bring …

My Bestfriend’s Wedding

My bestfriend’s married. Wait, let me say that again… Cory Is Married! I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this marraige thing for the last few weeks but I’ve not come any closer to reaching any sort of enlightment about it. What I’ve been trying to do is understand the significance of the day …

Oh… Canada!

Hey, so it’s my nation’s birthday today. Good on it for making it to… what is it now… 139 years old. After proudly exclaiming to Maggie this morning that it’s Canada Day! (and in turn having to explain that means it’s Canada’s version of National Day), she informed me of the origins of my flag. …

‘Push Me Pull Me’ Media

Since I was a kid I have always had a pretty active interest in both the world around me and the world inside me. I would consider myself somewhat well-educated, somewhat well-read, and somewhat well-intuned with my spirituality. I’m by no means claiming to have mastered any of these to any remarkable level… just somewhat.Lately …

I’ll Bee Damned

I would say a good indicator on whether or not you are a friend of mine or a GOOD friend of mine is whether or not you know about my rather irrational fear of bees. I think it began when I was about 14 and sleeping on the couch one summer night in my living …

Obligatory Dragon Boat Festival Post

Gawd, it’s not enough that my post isn’t going to be original, as everyone in the Chinese blogsphere is writing about the damn Dragon Boat Festival, but now I can’t even do the “Dragon Boat Festival Late Post” and be original, as Meg at Violet Eclipse has that. Anyway, Dragon Boat Festival – as I …

Bye Bye Blogger

In my ongoing quest to find additional reasons to sit at my computer, as well as my rather successful attempts at procrastinating what I REALLY should be doing on here – I’ve decided to switch how I publish my blog – and in the process do a complete redesign. The redesign is actually a product …

The War On Fat: Part II

I don’t intend for my updates to be quite so regular as every day – I mean, it’s a long process and rather boring I think… but just wanted to comment on my first day. Day One: Got up at 6:30 a.m. – this has become a strong habit, and with few exceptions is something …

Inboxinated

Hey, always in a rush to add little gizmos to my site that make it just the coolest thing since sliced bread (and you thought it was sliced bagels!), I’ve set up a Daily E-mail Update. So, if you like reading my site, keeping posted on what’s going on with me in China, but can’t …
