Wow, has it really been three months since I last posted anything here? So much has happened in that time!

The last post was following my second visit to China, for the opening of the show which my then girlfriend was working on: Beautiful New World. Since then the most important event has been that my girlfriend has become my wife and we have moved ourselves to Beijing!

When I get a chance to sit down and think about it (which is a rare occurrence these days) I really feel that this is the most exciting time of my life! We are creating our new life together, we have so many opportunities and I have my wife to thank for all of it.

Shi is currently working on her first exhibition at her new job, about which I’ll post more details later this week, and I am helping out on a new project that should be going live at the end of the month.

Everybody’s been so kind to us here, I really appreciate the faith they have in us. I hope to be able to fulfil all of our expectations – this is certainly the place where this will be possible and definitely the right place for us to fulfil our dreams.

So here I am in Starbucks in Beijing SOHO, of all places, which makes me such a 老外 (foreigner). Only westerners and those Chinese who wish to show off frequent this place. Apparently it’s quite expensive for locals and hence something of a status symbol to be seen here.

I’m having a great time here with my fiancée and have many photos to sort out and upload but, as was the case last time I was here, it looks like they will have to wait until I get home to the UK as computer-time here is limited.

再见! Bye-bye!
