B is off to Asia today-- China to be precise-- and will be there for almost 2 full weeks. You see, the reason we're in Deutschland in the first place is due to B's job for a Well Known German Company, and because manufacturing operations for the Company are in Asia she goes there a couple times a year. So while I joke about a pizza and beer fest around the house (in reality, it's more like a Döner kebab-- think Middle Eastern burritos and you're on the right track-- pizza and beer fest), I'll be keeping busy.Due to highly restricted access to the internets in China, it's not a certainty but B will attempt to send a few blog posts from there herself with her take on things. She'll be far away from the glamor and hubbub of major Chinese cities like Hong Kong and Beijing, and in the massive city of Qing Yuan (population 4 million), whose sole purpose seems to be manufacturing. We'll see about the ease and frequency of her posts-- it's not like she has a lot of downtime, and as I mentioned, internet usage is highly controlled and restricted. Stay tuned (hopefully!) for Chinese impressions and photos.

Is that pizza from the family Italian place we went?
Hey Steve: Regrettably no-- Salumeria closed down this summer-- something about not paying their taxes for 5 or 8 years or whatever. We've found a couple of decent alternative pizza joints in the meantime, but nothing quite as unique (or cheap or fast) as that one. Bummer. Thanks for reading!

Hey, you could always come for a short stay in the South of France if you get lonely. I'm sure you'd love to hear the chatter of two young girls and the screaming of a baby! It's almost too late - I go back to work in mid-January.
K: As awfully tempting as that sounds, I'm going to have to ask for a raincheck. B has returned with the usual Chinese exotic illness in tow (some sort of hypercold took root), and we're currently prepping for... wait for it... another trip to Paris at Christmas.
Wait... it's 9 degrees and snowing right this instant. Say, is it, like, warm where you are?
