As of June 25, 2011, I am living in Beijing, capital of the People's Republic of China. Some friends have encouraged me to set up a blog to share my experiences, thoughts, etc. This is my first time blogging; I hope you find it of interest.

my little modest local hutong was torn down (make room for highrises). I really love Beijing hutongs, fortunately many are now protected by the government, but not the one in my neighborhood.just went there the other night, and what had been a nice play of neon lights and social activity was now dark, with people sledgehammering the small stores I had become accustomed to visiting

UPDATE: The hutong wasn't torn down. It was WINTERIZED. Back up and running ;-)
