Sorry for the hiatus...

We thought that we would have gotten more of our Harbin trip written up and in the pipeline so that they would automatically post, but somehow that didn't happen.

I'm up in Shanghai this week for work, and Tina is now back in Xiamen holding down the home front. We've got post ideas but I've got the photos and not a lot of time to post, and while Tina has time we understand that most of our readership requires photos to stay interested...

I'm back in Xiamen tomorrow, so regular posting should resume then - or maybe Saturday. In the meanwhile be happy knowing that it's cold here in Shanghai, not as cold as Harbin, but just above freezing with rain and lunches in restaurants that don't have their heat on isn't all that comfortable. On the plus side, since it's winter they've turned all the fridges off so you can't even buy a cold beer or soda in the convenience stores - who drinks cold beverages when it's cold outside?
