Yes, a traditional meal. New friends and old. Thanks to David and Ruby for the invite. One of the best I’ve ever attended.

First snow of the year in early December! People here love the snow in Beijing (Almost no snow last winter. Perhaps even no snow.) But snow today and more expected in the coming week. Very cool!

My autobiography, in Chinese, will be out in a few weeks in China. Not sure about HK and Taiwan yet…hope soon also. You can search my Chinese name for more information about the book in a few weeks. Hope you like it!

What’s ahead?

Looks like a busy December ahead. I’ve had some friends visiting Beijing recently and more on the way this month. Fun to connect and re-connect with friends. Stories to share for sure…

Got some projects coming up soon. You’ll hear about them.

December is a celebration month…let’s stay in touch…

This year I co-hosted with Jane Zheng whom I first met a few years ago when she was working with Radio Beijing on “Touch Beijing.” In fact, she almost became a co-host of Joy FM at one time. It’s always amazing to me to hear the contestants from many cities in China speaking almost perfect English! Congratulations to all the participants; they are very talented! And it was great to meet so many who were there to support the event. Looking forward to doing it again next year!
