A terrible guide to renouncing a child’s Chinese citizenship. April 25, 2014. You have to give it to China, she plays a hard game of holding on to her sons and daughters. When we applied over two years ago to renounce our son’s Chinese citizenship, we had assumed it would take a few months and that would be that.

Converted by Falcon Hive. National Day is coming. Originally uploaded by Akira2506. Okay So, two things. 1) National day has already come.and gone. and 2) this Polaroid of Beryl has nothing to do with it.I just wanted to share it. :). Although, speaking of Beryl. I found out she can knit! She knitted a scarf for my mum. Her skill set is so polar-opposite to mine. She made me this super cute frog-shaped phone charm. :). Back on topic. National day!

Converted by Falcon Hive. So many pool tables. Originally uploaded by Akira2506. Took my camera for a wonder around one night. These are the results. A KTV / Hotpot / Bank / Gym building near my apartment. Stumbled upon this basketball game being played. Calling for a timeout! They looked quite tired. Loads of people were playing pool. So many interesting colours at night, really makes for interesting photography. As an aside, I'm actually back home now. At least for a few weeks. ). Miss you all,.

Converted by Falcon Hive. Day 77 - Friday 24th April - Sports day! Last Friday I headed up to the university to meet Beryl and to watch her universities sports day together. It was a pretty neat experience! It was baking hot, and a good day for chilling out in the grandstands. A shot from where I was sitting in the stadium, so you get the idea. Here are some random shots:. Olympic flag, PRC flac and the university flag, with one of the university buildings in the background. Some random crowd shots:.

My 400D with the 24-105mm F4 L, and Tim's 450D which I alternated with the EF 50mm F1.8 and my Sigma 70-300mm. I narrowed the 1500 photos down the 539 of the best, the full gallery for that is here.

Everyone getting a trucker's tan on the way to Hua Shan. Bye bye mr sunshine. Next time we'd see him would be a lot different. And Aya, all contemplating the climb ahead. Finally, after a tota...

Converted by Falcon Hive. Oktoberfest at Sofitel, Xian. Originally uploaded by Akira2506. As they say in Germany. So, myself, Beryl, Rudy, Joanne and Kai headed to Xi'an for the Oktoberfest held at the Sofitel hotel there. The Sofitel is a totally pimp hotel, and Rudy knows someone who works there, so we got hooked-up price wise, so kudos to him. Beryl sitting on the bed in the hotel room. The whole thing was in collaboration with Paulaner. Kai (who's German) toasts with Rudy (who's.not.). I want his hat.
