My name is Duncan and I am a Brit originally from the Northwest of England. I moved to Beijing with work 8 years ago now. I now work part time consulting for a few oil and gas companies here, but the majority of my time is taken up looking after my 2 kids (Molly aged 3 in a few weeks and Arthur who will be 2 in December). I also spend a lot of time cooking, writing restaurant reviews and playing golf. My wife, JR, who I met here, is an American and she is a full time journalist.
Hopefully, we will bring you interesting insights into life in Beijing.
As it happens this week is the Chinese National Day holiday. Normally, this is a 3 day holiday but this year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic so we get 6 days off! The next few blogs will tell what has been happening here during the holiday.
