I’m thankful for the people that make life special: my family in North America with their unconditional love and support for their wayward son/brother/uncle who relocated a half a world away; and my family here: my wife, my daughter and even my mother-in-law that, despite her foibles and funny accent, cares for my daughter with all the love in the world every day while we’re at work.

Oh and I’m thankful as well for the wise words of Beijing Boyce who with this blog has kept me up-to-date with all manner of things in Beijing, despite the fact that as a new parent I’ve basically become a social recluse.

I’m thankful for those little pellets that get shot into the sky to make rain. If it weren’t for those I don’t know what I would do.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to work and live here in Beijing where I am able to come in close contact with my “roots” Being Chinese-American, I am grateful for growing up with a Western mindset and a great community back home which supports me in my personal and professional endeavors abroad. I now feel that my “inbetween ness” has evened out. Now, time for some delcious Turkey, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes. Add a dash of red vinegar, some MA LA peppers, and a bowl of noodles!

Aside from best friends & family, I’m thankful to have a great job in this time of turmoil. This has been a year of amazing career achievements that I cannot take for granted. I have so much to thank for in Beijing and China, in general, this is a great place to live!

I am thankful for my amazing Christmas gift, a ticket home to show off my belly. Something to be even more thankful for, the opportunity to return to a city I love to birth my first child. It´s an excitingly dynamic place…Beijing.

I’m thankful that Beijing’s culinary scene is becoming world class. I love the fact that I can get Ethiopian, Indian, Singaporian and Norwegian food any day of the week…the downside is that my wallet and scale seem to move in opposite direction.

I’m thankful for the small things line walking around late at night feeling safer than most places in the world or being able to summon a private driver within 1/2 hour notice. The variety of options available from a culinary point of view as well as the mix of modern vagabonds that call beijing home (at least some of them)

I am thankful to Beijing to open the horizon for me. Its my first job outside India – my home country – and my first home away from India so Beijing will always be special to me – my door into the world…
