    Woodie Alan is a great band. Love Beijing Blues! The voice in the video is Paul Alan. In addition to forming the band Woodie Alan, he also wrote a bestseller called “Big In China” which is a great read. I highly recommend it. Also, his wife is a Journalist with the Wall Street Journal Asia where I find the very best news stories. They are both very talented and interesting people.

    That’s right! Patty Smyth and John McEnroe have been happily married for years! 🙂 Just goes to show you that there is a lid for every pot! If at first you don’t succeed, try try again! He is much happier and much more mellow now! Those two were made for each other! 🙂

    Goodbye to You!

    I knew if I found the right mirror, I would find beauty.

    Starting Today, with each Chinese Proverb of the Day, I will also include a new Mandarin word. We will learn a word or phrase each day that is directly related to the Proverb! 🙂
