This coping mechanism that’s masquerading as a digital scrapbook gives you a window into our experiences as a Canadian-American couple trying to live into and love - and some days just survive - China.

The mini-victories, potholes, questions, misperceptions, complaints, amateur documentaries, and people from our daily stumblings through the intercultural terrain all make regular appearances here, along with the occasional cultural analysis geekfest piece betraying the fact that we probably spent way too long in grad school.

We hope you’ll join us online; we’re having fun, and there’re lots and lots of photos!

We hope one day to live, work, and raise our family in China. In March 2007, after finishing up M.A.’s in Intercultural Studies while teaching English in Taiwan, we began full-time language study in Tianjin. After draining our bank account studying Chinese full time, we hope to get jobs somewhere on the Mainland and make some babies.
