Today is a good day for the beach...

Yup. I think I'll do that.
And bring a book.
And maybe a snack, and an umbrella.
Oh yeah.
Fun!

Gulangyu Island

Gulangyu. It is no secret that this city is one of my favorite destination I have been to so far. According to China Daily, Gulangyu is the 2nd most visited tourist attraction after National Museum of Beijing. Main reason I love the island? No cars. No buses. No bikes. One of my favorite houses in the whole island. I mean, sure the island police have a little electric golf cart and as does a couple of the expensive, luxury hotels that reside in the island. For packages and delivery, there are men who walk with a large wooden cart like some sort of ox plowing through a field, except its not a field but a pavement and its an uphill. The people are welcoming, nosy and curious yet very laid back. Its a slow pace of life here with a population a little over 200,000 people. And almost everyone and their uncle is some sort of fisherman, or businessman. People's home's are open and sell just about any trinket you could think of. Especially ice cold water and popsicle

It has been over a 13 days since I arrived and I am still blown away with how incredibly accepting people are. Of course I get stared at. I stick out like a sore thumb. Mostly everyone here (especially the women) are slender, while I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite: I stand taller than most Chinese women (even some of the men) and have a whole lotta curves!  For example, here in the picture, this is Mrs Wang, (known to me officially as &

Cat Diary Episode 141

December 5 After coming back from California for the Thanksgiving holiday, and finally bringing back Charlie home with me, I was finally getting a chance to see what Billie Boo would do when confronted with the sad reality that I was already a kept human. I took Charlie for a walk about the apartment complex and came across Billie Boo. The first encounter and already Billy Boo was already drawing back realizing that there was a new furred friend through into our Feline Human friendship. Charlie was a bit weary of her since he has been burned by Feline Canine friendships. Most ending in him getting the bad end of the stick. Still I wanted this friendship to work. I called to Billie Boo and petted her then called to Charlie and petted him. I walked and Charlie followed. Billie Boo took a few minutes then followed. I was watching, trying to see if anyone would reach to eachother first. Billie Boo stopped and then turned to Charlie. Charlie looked at her as she stared at him.
