Don't you just love it when a plan comes together, the black and red iconic van, the staccato sound of gunfire and the voiceover telling of the injustice that has placed our heroes in the situation we find them? If you have a problem, if you can find them, then maybe you can hire the A Team.

It had to happen, Titanic has been replaced as the number one grossing film of all time. Now while the smile on my face grew and grew wider each day as I watched the inevitable happen. (I hate Titanic with a passion, a dreadful manipulative film, which managed to tap into a society that thinks the solution to the world's problems, is tears; there was almost a hysterical need for people to cry at this film.

I have given China 3 year of my life so far, and estimating another 2 here before I move on. But recently, as most late twenties girls do, I've been secretly evaluating living styles of the more family-esque type.
Yes, I am feeling the urger, the biological clock, or whatever it is called, and I've started thinking less like the single woman and more in the sense of when I'd like to start a family, what type of mother I'd be, and most pressingly, where would I most like to raise my family.

And I have come to one decision quite easily. Beijing is not the place to raise a family.

The 3rd sign of the Chinese zodiac, the tiger, begins it's year long reign on the February 14th this year.
However, much alike our western new year, the most exciting day is actually the eve. But unlike in the west where we find the most exciting party and drink with friends, lovers and, more often than not, a bunch of strangers, the Chinese New Years Eve is spent with family.
In fact, the Chinese New Year 's Eve is the most important family day of the year. Needless to say that the seriousness of my and my boyfriends' relationship is left without doubt, now that I have been invited to share this day with his family.
