Emilie has been visiting this month, so we've been seeing Beijing as the weather warms up.   We might have a new roommate soon, Xi Zhong Zhong, a filmmaker who we met almost two years ago in Vietnam.  Also, I'm nursing a cold, so lots of soup and ginger tea to counter this.

I'm working on two interesting paintings, which I'll post once more progress is made. 

Ariel and I are planning a long trip to India this summer along with a friend, Chao.  We're thinking about taking a train to the south of China and finding an inexpensive way to somehow just get there.  I've been immersing myself in Indian themes, including reading Mark Twain's amazing account of his visit to the country in the later years of his life.

What are you up to?
