Such a pity that I wasn’t here when you announced your plan to come to Beijing, otherwise my family - my husband and kids would have been happy to invite you to our home to show you how nice we Beijing people can be. Hehe…

Maybe drop me a line next time when you come to Beijing. It’s always nice to meet new people, isn’t it? Well, even if you don’t have the time to meet us, if there’s anything we can help with here, let me know.

Smokey, thanks for the offer! I guess you already know my plans this time. I’ll send you an email before I go next time.

Brendan, that would be great! Believe it or not, Franc just recently suggested that I get a hold of you to ask about your experiences in Harbin. I’ll email you at this address before I take off from Shanghai.

Hey - drop me a line when you’re in Beijing. They’ve got 卷舌 and 儿化音 beyond the dreams of avarice here - it’s great.

Micah lives in Shanghai too. I’m proud to announce that I’m partly responsible for both Micah’s move to Shanghai and his meeting his wife. hehe

You and Lennet should definitely talk while you’re here, since he’s planning a move to Taipei.

Smokey, I feel the same way. If only I had limitless money and time, I’d spend a whole year travelling in China. This trip, I’ll just hit a few key spots. I don’t have that much time, and I’m not planning on any sort of “whirlwind tour”.

Micah, congratulations! I’m sure this won’t be my only trip to the mainland. What city do you live in?

Lennet, see you soon.

I’ll be getting married around then so I’m sure to be busy. Otherwise, I’d be happy to be the lightbulb to you and John.
