Thank you my lovely, same to both of you <3 <3

We all have that creative outlet that de-stresses. I guess because I’m trying to build my writing into a business it’s more stress than outlet at the moment. But I do still love writing fiction – that is definitely escapism for me too.

Have a great Christmas, Sacha! XX

Life in China (living) is quite different to many other places in the world and something that most people won’t experience even on a holiday here. There are things that take time to get used to and others that you quickly switch off about yet the people are friendly most of the time, more so than anywhere else I’ve ever been to.

Here’s a link to a large photo collection on Flickr:

And anyone here can look at them if they want to. Except for the diving photos which were from Egypt before I decided to come to China, all the others are from since I moved here.

The link will be active until the end of January, after that I need to find a new home for them as the site has changed its rules (Grrr!).

I live in Baotou which is a small city by China’s standards, somewhere over 2 million but they are spreadout over quite a large area so it doesn’t feel closed in like other smaller cities with similar populations.

Oh, yes, getting out of the winter doldrums. And Happy Christmas to you my friend. 😉 x

Those are very very wise words <3

Yep. That’s exactly what happens to me – I can’t think. I continue to work and achieve nothing. It’s awful 🙁

You and me both Tim. I live my life in front of a screen. Not good at all.I didn’t know you were in inner mongolia!!!!!!!!! that’s so far away! I can’t even imagine what life is like there. Have you posted photos anywhere? I’d love to see the beautiful scenery. Are you in a city or somehwere remote?
