After Mark’s birth, we have a regular visitor from the city district. It’s a nurse checking up on how Mark is growing, learning and similar. It’s a normal procedure here in Denmark and a good safety precaution for us. The other day she came around when I was working so I had to hear the [...]
So, my parents-in-law bought a dog last summer. They were very fond of it, but a few days ago it ran away. My wife’s father was walking it and suddenly some firecrackers set of, and so did the dog. Its leash broke only being a line my in-laws made themselves. Now they blame themselves for [...]
So I’ve deactivated my Facebook account. It was momentarily fun in the beginning, but now it’s just another time-consuming site of endless challenges, stupid cyber back-pats and invitations to unimportant tests (no offence to those who sent those, cause I found them funny at the beginning too). I just figured that I would try such [...]

So I finally watched Lust, Caution. The naughty western version of course. Yes – it has some naked skin, a pair of breasts, and sure it do show some hair from downstairs. There’s also a flash some balls on work, but really nothing that bad compared to what we normally can see here in movies in [...]

According to this news, Wei Tang is now being boycotted in the Chinese medias. One can only wonder why, but the obvious reason would be her “betrayal” in the movie Lust, Caution, where she end up having a relationship with a ruthless Japanese sympathizer. There’s also a few naughty scenes in the western cut version, [...]
A few days from now, C’s father has birthday. We want to send him some money, as it is way easier than buying a gift, sending it and wait for it to arrive. I should have known better. To send money there are 2 obvious options: Either by regular mail (will take about 7-11 days) [...]

Yet another of those popular follow-ups on our trip to China the summer of 2007. One day we were invited to eat dumplings at C’s sister’s house. The dumplings were great and after relaxing a bit, C’s sister told C that she had some presents for us. Besides some exquisite handcrafted glass objects to put on [...]

Yet another of those popular follow-ups on our trip to China the summer of 2007. Have you ever had a discussion about how to do things with your wife/girlfriend? A discussion where you knew that no matter what you said it would be futile? I am talking about discussions where you know you’re right, because [...]

Today I added a new category to make my first posts easy to find. These are all from my first trip to Shenzhen/China where I met C for the first time. The meeting and later Justins blog – Shenzhen Zen – was what spurred my interest in blogging. The category can be found on the [...]

As promised (threatened) a follow-up on my first visit at my parents-in-law the summer 2007. This is the entrance to the courtyard where C’s sister’s apartment was located. Back when we were in Yilan this was where we lived. Every day we had to go through the stupid mini-maze to the left (look at the [...]

As promised (threatened) a follow-up on my first visit at my parents-in-law the summer 2007. In the summer you would constantly hear an infernal screaming of the word: “Pingau” (not sure how it’s spelled correctly). At first I didn’t notice it much other than one of the many new sounds that filled the air in [...]

Before I went to China I would have sworn never to wear sandals. I held my word… sort of. After a few days C’s father felt so sorry for my fat feet that he bought a pair of plastic slippers for me. In 30+ degrees warm dusty weather where even the Chinese sweat, you know [...]
As promised (threatened) a follow-up on my first visit at my parents-in-law the summer 2007. Everywhere we went in the city of Yilan, we were greeted by massive writing of numbers. Almost like graffiti it was written on everything you could imagine. Billboards, walls, houses, stairs… well everywhere. I found it pretty odd, so I [...]

As promised (threatened) a follow-up on my first visit at my parents-in-law the summer 2007. First time I saw Yilan City, where C’s family lives, was a bit of a surprise. I’m not sure what I expected, but it certainly wasn’t what I found. We had been in a bus for 4 hours straight from [...]
As promised (threatened) a follow-up on my first visit at my parents-in-law the summer 2007. I know safety is not a big issue in China, but is there any reason why seatbelts are impossible to use it when they are finally present? The back of the bus seats in front of ours. Picture taken from our bus trip from [...]

I pulled my self together and made a new category containing everything I wrote on our trip to China (July 2007). You can find all entries in the sidebar named China trip July 2007 (the first entry can be found here if you want to read it in the right order).
Anyone know what happened to The 88s? Looks like some Russians hackers took over his site.

Not sure how it happened, but seems that I finally pulled myself up by the hair and sorted and uploaded the last pictures from our vacation in China. Don’t have much energy to make captions, and not sure I ever will, but guess I will make a follow-up about some of the stories behind the [...]
Last Friday C went shopping with her friend. The day before, she asked me to prepare dinner which I gladly do. I rarely have a chance to keep my cooking skills up since “Danish dishes are too expensive, too fattening and has too much meat” (Quote my wife). So normally the missus cooks, while I help [...]
A friend who know I’m married to a Chinese sent this to me the list below to me. It’s actually pretty funny and there are a few words of real wisdow among them. CHINESE PROVERBS *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Virginity like bubble, one prick, all gone. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Man who run in front of car get tired. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Man who [...]
