I'll return the favour. Always nice to see new blogs. I think the blog you might be thinking of (the HK incarnation) was MaskofChina.com, a friend of mine's site. We both had Dalian blogs. @J.: Hehe, just bought the first three seasons of Family Guy yesterday. :-) Steven: Hey – saw you added me, cool stuff. I’ll return the favour. Always nice to see new blogs.

We started watching Sex in the City when we first started dating. It was painful--like having your spleen removed with soup spoon painful. But over time, it gave us a great opportunity (and the vocabulary in two languages) to talk about a lot of things to do with relationships, etc. Over time, I actually enjoyed watching the show (hold on a second, I have to wave good bye to my testicles...) We've since moved on to "Family Guy" which presents its own unique translation problems. I still can't get her to watch "The Sopranos" with me, but I'm working on it.

But its always been a series that divided the people into hate it or love it. The latter being people with no style and taste - just kidding ;) I have been to Suzhou a month ago. We had a really great time there. We visited the brother of a friend who lives there since four years and owns his own company in Suzhou. We partied all night long in China. Great techno clubs. In Suzhou I would recommend this bar/restaurant: http://www.lifesrestaurantandbar.com/aboutus.html Pictures of the bar: http://blammo.textamerica.com/?qs=xdefault&page=9 Check out my photoblog for pictures of Suzhou: http://blammo.textamerica.com Friends is so unfunny.

Yeah... not entirely sure why that didn't occure to me. I'm an idiot. @Hey (aka Dave): Dood, sign you name in the Name box :-) But cool that you know Hector. He's a great guy. How's Nanjing? Hoping to head there sometime in the not too distant future. @Todd: Doh! Yeah… not entirely sure why that didn’t occure to me. I’m an idiot.

Was really surprised 'cus I actually went to school with Hector and just got done seeing him in Suzhou. (he told us to check this site out) My name's dave, and I'm living in Nanjing right now. Always interested in finding out more about how others are doing here in China. Dave Just looking through here and randomly hit your site.
