china

first visit to china was in 1999. worked there for 7 months drumming in a band at a very popular international restaurant/bar chain.
i have since visited china many times....mainly shanghai but also beijing and wuhan. i really enjoy shanghai....although it can be chaotic i find i am able to relax and just unwind. i also enjoy looking at all the crazy tall buildings and i love the way the city lights up at night. if you have any questions about shanghai, just leave a message and i will try to help you out.

Hi Doug! How have you been? Just been cruising around your China pages, would love to hear some more stories (come on, spill it...haha!) Been busy with my Scotland pages on here, otherwise: waiting for summer to end here in the desert! Jess :-)
