My husband and I love seeing new places, meeting new faces, and trying out different things. When I say “different things” that means food is include. Ok, maybe I am more open to unknown dishes compared to my husband because there are just some foods he can’t even imagine eating. Some special Asian foods he doesn’t even like to talk about like “Balut” (boiled egg with the baby chick still inside it) are eatable for me. I have no problem whatsoever to eat it.
But compared to other westerners, I think my husband is pretty game when it comes to eating foreign dishes. I can say that because when we were living in China, we tried a lot of restaurants there—old, new, big, small, expensive, cheap—anywhere where we can try out new dishes. And when we do find a restaurant which serve good food, we always ask for some restaurant business cards so we can keep one and give some to our friends to whom we can recommend the restaurant to. Most of the restaurants in China have names in Chinese and since we cannot read Chinese characters, we always have the business cards with us so when we like to go somewhere; we just show the business card of that place to the taxi driver so that he knows where we want to go. It must easier that way because we cannot speak Chinese and most of the Chinese taxi drivers cannot speak English.

I don’t know if you’ve heard the news about hundreds of babies in China dying because of consuming a certain milk formula. This news really shook me and made me think again about having a baby while we are here. Initially, we agreed to wait two years after our wedding for a baby and that was a year ago. It means, we only have another year to wait but the problem is… Marcus signed a two-year contract to work here in Shanghai. Technically, we can have a baby here. It will still go with our plan but hearing such news scares the hell out of me….maybe it is wiser to wait a little bit longer until we’re finally settled in Europe.
