No one back in the midwest can quite imagine living in 30 (or 20) square meters. I think I have about 35 meters now, and it feels like pretty much enough space. 20, though, was rough.

I love that you can capture the essence of a Beijing Christmas better than I could put in words. Our family resorted to Skype calls followed by tours around my mothers house with the laptop in hand… I of course had to give them a tour of my tiny apartment and my mis-shaped Christmas tree. Starting to worry about how to get everything home in 9 months time…. Does that mean I should stop shopping? See for Christmas dinner hopefully!!

The gifter must have been a Brit or something. Who saves the box? There are weird people out there.
