Fabulous 40








I can now finally say that my life has started, well according to the old saying that is, life begins at 40! I celebrated my big day on February 27 here in Shenzhen surrounded by friends who made the occasion extra special. There were 3 celebrations in total, the kindy I work for took me to lunch and gave me a cake. The ladies from the orphanage visits came to my lunch, and I went to dinner with some new and old friends. The photos have been posted here, so you can share in the festivities. My friend Bonnie was in town for a couple of days so she was able to spend some time celebrating. The pearl necklace I am sporting was a generous gift from her! I also welcomed a new housemate Eve into my apartment. She is the Western lady sitting next to me at my dinner. Everything is going well, work is keeping me busy and the weather is warming up. Until next time God bless, ciao! xo

About Town











Here's a collection of images from around Shenzhen. Some photos of street vendors selling everything from roasted sweet potatoes (which are incredibly yummy) to fresh fruit on a stick or traditional Chinese remedies using snake! There is also some architecture from around these parts and things I generally found intriguing. I hope you enjoy them!
