Well, our time in China came to a close and I am sadly trying to adjust to life without excess dumplings and my daily dose of jian bing. I am enjoying traveling around the States, visiting friends and family, and consuming a lot of wine and cheese.
I have also been busy starting a new blog, thelocalspoon.com, which was borne entirely of my love of writing the Food, Glorious Food posts for stephoandcrank. I had such a great time writing about our food exploits in China, about new recipes we tried and restaurants we loved, I figured I had to keep it going stateside — thus thelocalspoon.com! Check it out and let me know what you’d like to hear about, I’d love to get your feedback!
Hey there! It’s your old (old old old) friend – Steve Gebhardt
I dig your blog! My mom directed me here.
And your dance moves can’t be matched!
I’ve been to China a couple times too and I found some of the same nuiances there amusing as well.
I too fell victim to buying the Tea flavored tooth paste. yuck!
I bought Black Man toothpaste and had better luck with that. I wonder if the Chinese realize that it is a little derogatory to name a toothpaste that? hmm…
There are a lot of crazy adventures to be had there as I’m sure you found. Looks like you guys had a blast.
Have fun!
