In honour of my cousin Patrick, a major coffee aficionado,
and recent celebrant of a milestone birthday.

(I'll give you a hint, it ends in zero and starts with six)

Feeling kinda Old Testament today...

Abel, you may leave.

Elizabeth gets published!

Guess who's a genuine, bona fide, published, "professional" (I did get paid!) writer?!?
So excited! For those of you reading my blog, this is a sneak preview of my post. I still have to write about Cambodia and Vietnam. How's that for a teaser?

Check me out!

To celebrate the end of tax season 

I first saw this on Google Maps when I was researching Taiyuan.

I had to see it in person when I was there. 

The glass door of the Shanxi Taxation Mansion.

It really does exist.
