Welcome to my world………
I am an American citizen who moved from Seattle to China in December 2005 to start my adventures posted here. I live in Yunnan Province of SW mainland China. The city is Kunming, also known as the spring city. These are my experiences as an American foreigner living in mainland China.
I started this site so that my family and friends would be updated with my adventures living in this wonderful country. However, since I started this site, it has morphed into much more of a content rich informational site on traveling and touring China.
Spend some time looking around here and you will find good info about what to expect when visiting China. There are many photos for you to enjoy that I think will give you a real sense of what China is all about. I spent my career in the photo business and I hope you will appreciate some of my work in here. Check out my gallery for an interactive photo tour of the places I am visiting. It is the best way to view my photography.

Hey Jack,
Site looks great, how about some new stuff?? What about a bit on how the Chinese are tripping over themselves trying to buy American made cars in China.
Doing fine here …reently returned from a too brief visit to Australia, (Sydney) ….wonderful harbour town. Still finishing up the odds and ends of this house….
Have a Good Friday & Happy Easter!

Very cool blog, very organized.

Very interesting site……..luck would have it that I am planning on retiring and living in Guilin ( not your favorite city). My wife is from there. I am curious about American TV. Is there anyway to receive TV programming from the U.S.?
I will certainly miss my American Sports, so I am quite concerned.
A well organized site containing a wealth of interesting observations and photos. I’ve learned a lot about China by having visited and browsing. Good Job!
Site is looking good..
Hey. Hope all is well. I like the new look of your site. Don’t eat rats!
