It has been almost three months since I left China. With that said I am going to reflect on the final weeks of my time in Tianjin and then some. Most of my final 9 weeks were spent working, walking the park and visiting the downtown of Tianjin. Pictured here is the beautiful parks (I […]

Wendy is now safe at home. Her travels were not easy but well planned. As I write this blog she is in the final stages of her quarantine and doing well. She is thrilled with the house!! I am now navigating China on my own. My first week was spent on holiday and I had […]

Like any final chapter it is hard to put into words how one feels about moving on. All that I can say at this point is that I am not leaving sad or glad but just leaving with a good life ahead just like the good life I am leaving behind. Of course there are […]

As with everyone I’m sure we can’t believe Christmas is on the horizon. We have been in Tianjin for two solid months and we are solidly getting things accomplished and adapting to life here in a new city. While we must admit to be being a bit lazier in our travelling we have made up […]

I guess one could say that six weeks into anything you’re pretty well on your way to knowing what’s going on and some of your plans have been realized and others have been dismissed. I still find it hard to feel that this is home. There is still lots of city to discover obviously and […]
