Three months and no update. Any self-respecting blogger would be ashamed. Good thing I don’t have that holding me back..
Kidding.
Sorry folks. Been busy and just not in the mood to write.
I do have some cool pics coming up in the next couple days.. assuming I can’t get around the big red firewall China puts up around her Internet access. I can see flickr, but can’t see the photos, but I’m working on it.
I’ve just finished a great tour - 18 days in China. One of my best groups ever and I’m exhausted! I have 3 days off then start my last China tour of the season which is a family tour. I have 15 people and 8 of them are kids. Should be fun, I think.
I’m currently in Shanghai where the storm of the decade is apparently bearing down. Don’t see any ‘bearing’ just yet - but it sure does make good news…
Ok. Lastly, 5 things I’ll miss about China when I go back to Vietnam.
1. Yangshuo noodle soup
2. Shanghai soup dumplings
3. Beijing pancake
4. Sichuan hotpot
5. Ajisen noodles
Hmm. Those were all food. Here are some more
1. Extremely good roads
2. Awesome night-life
3. The feeling of living in the center of the world
4. Olympic fever
5. Seeing the helmsman, Chairman Mao, each time I open my wallet
Bye for now

You’re lucky Chinese food goes through you so quickly otherwise you would look like Buddha. Funniest thing is Tatiana is afraid of anything “Made in China”. Could she be right? If it isn’t one thing it is the next. Will the “Red Wall” delete my message? :-)
Anyhow summer here in NYC in August was beautiful. Went to the beach every weekend and belly-boarded. Tatiana got some great shots of me being crushed by some great waves of course.
Hope all is well. Still having fun my friend. I am so jealous!
Best, Eric and Tatiana

An all food list would have been totally acceptable. But I do like the idea of Mao in my wallet, that would be novel.
