Beijing for Chinese New Year's (January, 2006)

Took a few days to visit friends up in Beijing (and to avoid spending Chinese New Year alone in Shanghai). Steve was nice enough to provide accomodations, and we had a great time singing and eating and going to the Temple fair...and eating some more. Beijing rules.

Holiday Back in the States (December, 2005; January, 2006)

Back home in States for Christmas and New Year's. Good to be home with family and friends, and it just goes to show you that you can never really leave everything behind.
