CAN YOU FIND THE MISSING NUMBERS?

These are the elevator buttons in our apartment building. There are no 4's on any floor. It is an unlucky number here because the Chinese word for "4" sounds almost identical to the Chinese word for "death". In a related story, cell phone companies in China allow you to chose your cell phone number from a list of choices, each of which are priced according to the amount of lucky and unlucky numbers they contain. I went for the cheapest option. My number is 134 4444 4444.  

MY FIRST SHOT FROM CHINA

This is the view from the deck of our apartment outside Guangzhou, China. I think pollution and large amounts of air particulates actually make sunsets better here. Our apartment is very nice, though I still get mild vertigo looking out the windows. More photos to come soon.

I GOT MARRIED!!

More pictures and stories to come shortly, but here is one of the first photos I received from my buddy, photographer extraordinaire Patrick Cavan Brown of Julie and I's wedding. She was a gorgeous bride. This was taken inside the Bentley her sister Jessica rented for us.
