I'm writing this blog to keep my friends and family updated on my culinary adventures in China. Besides just talking about me, I promise to keep you all updated on important world happenings, like who is the hottest commie in China, whether Batman really can beat Superman without using kryptonite, and if the USA will ever be the same without me. And then we'll talk food. Lots of food.

Dim Sum Diary


I might as well start out by telling you all the purpose of this blog: discussing one of my great loves, food. I can't cook much, but I can eat much.
For those of you who don't know, I will be spending the upcoming year in China studying language and conducting a year-long research project. I've already bought all the necessary supplies to ensure that the year goes smoothly: backpack, dental floss, camera, computer, clothes and chinese cookbook. I haven't packed yet, and I'm not sure how it's all going to work, but dammit- someway, somehow, that cookbook is gonna fit in my carry-on!! Anyway, I hope this blog will be as fun to read as it is to write. Enjoy!
