About me

Introduction	Hello, Nǐ hǎo, from Huangdao, China. Welcome to my blog, from fish to film, about the things and people I encounter on my walks along Jinshatan - Golden Beach - to the film school where I work. Vignettes of various subjects: beach, student life, films, fish, trailers, starfish, lovers, the challenges of working in an all-Chinese environment, and how to get around and about and begin the descent into the curious and wonderful Chinese culture. All depending on the week, for China is forever changing, fast, and things never seem to stay the same for long. Here today, gone tomorrow. I work at the Qingdao Film School and the eight kilometre walk from my house takes me along the beach. A journey I have been doing since I came to live here. I used to write a few descriptive pieces called “Friday Gossip”, and then stopped, for no reason. I guess the end of last semester took its toll, but now I am back, back to the beach, back to old faces and friends. And this time I can speak some Chinese, and am braver, so have more stories to share.
