This city. MAN. Sometimes I think I’ll be perfectly happy to leave it come the end of July, but other times, I just can’t imagine any other place in the world that can manage to be so utterly baffling and completely delightful all at once.

Hey! I’m Dani.
I teach English to undergrads in the birthplace of Confucius—arguably one of the most exciting places in China. (I count myself among those who would argue, but whatever,
I'm still a big fan.)I am passionate about Chinese flatbreads/

I am so, so close to being all caught up with the new Doctor Who, though that is not particularly relevant to this blog.
Currently, I'm posting photos from winter holiday travel, but more life-in-China stuff to come, you bet.
When I write "we" I usually mean me and the BF who blogs over here.
Cheers!
