Walking the Path

Well I know it’s been a long time since I posted. Work has been taking up a lot of my time – I’m working on the cover story for the April issue and that’s going to involve a trip from Anhui. I leave tomorrow and return Wednesday.

The one thing I have been doing with my free time is reading a lot. I’m currently in the middle of James Fallows’ Postcards from Tomorrow’s Square but at the same time I’m also working on John Pomfret’s Chinese Lessons and I’ve just bought a few more books today.

Why I don’t know. They just seem to fill me with a lot of hope.  And I know that sounds silly but they’re helping me to chill out during a very busy time right now.

Well I know I haven’t posted for a while. Chinese New Year kept me away from my laptop  and I returned to Shanghai and a really busy six-day work week. Hopefully in the next couple of days, as we wrap up the March issue, I’ll have more time to write in this space. Until that time you can read some of my stuff here and here.
