Skip to search - Accesskey = s. Travels with my barang-barang. The long and short of it. By ejl on 25 March 2009. Anyway, the last time I’d cut my hair was back in July, when I was last back in Singapore (are you seeing a pattern here? And so by this time my hair was around my shoulders and I’d been tying it up and pinning it back in the most severe lawyer-like fashion. And this has been how most of the girls I’d met here in Beijing have seen my hair – up and back, all the time. Laquo; After dark 04.

If you’re in sanlitun and decide to get munch at Bocata’s, i’d highly recommend the sandwiches and salads, but avoid the lime smoothie at all cost. It’s basically lime smush. there weren’t any pips, but the little green leathery bits of skin were annoying. and they get between your teeth like nothing else can. they also made the drink taste slightly bitter.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. Travels with my barang-barang. By ejl on 26 March 2009. Yesterday evening, J and I attended a networking event hosted by various Chambers of Commerce. We thought we might be able to get to know some other expat professionals in Beijing, so it was 85% a social exercise and 15% a work-related event. On both counts, initially – FAIL. But we were so taken aback that all we could do was mumble and decline the invitation. She’d also asked if I liked Chinese boys and on...Maybe J...

France, Britain, and me in the middle: December 2008
http://asoftspot.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
France, Britain, and me in the middle. Witterings, twitterings, and definitely no glitterings. Saturday, December 27, 2008. I've been reading debates about the age of consent recently. How young is too young? The age here is fifteen. Which is the age at which I started. The average in France is seventeen. I hear fifteen is too young. Depends for who. I don't regret it. Was it shameful? Absolutely. Did he pressure me? Does that make me stupid? Really, it's no-one's business. As to statutory rape laws, the...

Belated updates because I’d been having off-site meetings till stupid o’clock almost everyday last week. But fear not, the gruelling work schedule has not reduced by much my eating, drinking and the carrying on of other debauched activities in bonny Beijing. The more interesting picks of last week:. St Patrick’s Day. And there was champagne. And silly drunken dancing! Thursday is not lao-wai-day.

Skip to search - Accesskey = s. Travels with my barang-barang. 8230; and we’re back! By ejl on 27 April 2009. It’s been a helluva month, huns. Really. There was being thrown into the maelstrom of a deal and attempting to hold on to some semblance of a social life whilst having meetings that lasted till 8 or 9 or 10 or 3, running around criss-crossing Beijing getting signatures from important people, turning documents on weekends…. It wasn’t pretty. So it’s been unusually quiet. Laquo; workin’ it.
