I will be away for Christmas, looking forward to be with Marianne, my two grandsons and the American family in Chantilly, Virginia (USA). Back in time in Beijing for New Year’s eve and my birthday. So, the blog will take some days off.
The end of another year… 2006 brought a second grandson, one of the bright spots. The blog is now running well and intends to keep all of you informed about the latest news on “Surviving Beijing”. Time for looking back and the usual “New Year Plans” (see earlier posts). And thinking about our friends all over the world. We wish you all a Happy Holiday Season and a bright New Year – the Year of the Pig for us here in Beijing.
