Back in Beijing

After a month and a half in New York, I am finally back in the Jing. It's been a hectic week with quite a few changes but I like being busy so really, I have nothing to complain about. :)

On the first day back, I was asked if I'd like to move to Culture Express, the daily news show permanently (Daily. BJT: 2:30am, 8:30am, 2:30pm, 8:30pm GMT: 6:30pm, 0:30am, 6:30am, 12:30pm on CCTV International) and while I agreed at first, I've decided that I'm not quite ready to give up 'Travelogue' entirely. Now, I'm just waiting to see what my bosses have to say, hosting Culture Express daily and looking forward to shooting Travelogue again SOON.

Either way though, I'll still be hosting Center Stage (Saturday and Sunday. BJT: 01.30am,10:30am, 4:30pm, 10:30pm GMT: 2:30am, 8:30am, 2:30pm CCTV International). I'm putting in the showtimes just in case you guys have forgotten about me during my absence. 

Also, if by chance you'd like to let me know that you missed me, want to tell me that you hate my shows/ like my shows or if you just want to tell me about your pet dog or what you had for dinner, write me.

Now back to New York... I had so much fun just walking around Manhattan. I don't think I've walked so much in a while but I think that's the best way to take in a city -- walking aimlessly. I can't even begin to tell you how much New York felt like home to me. The food, the people I met, the clubs, the shopping, the streets, the air... I felt as if I'd lived there my entire life -- a true New Yorker with the attitude to boot. And acting class was superb. I'll post up videos of that soon. And after classes were over, my boyfriend came down to visit for 10 days -- the perfect end to 1.5 months in New York. Hopefully, I'll be back there again soon.

P/S  I cut my hair. Love it or hate it, I think it was a genius cut. So thanks to Gabriel @ Wonderland, I now have a new do that makes me feel like a rocker. Too bad it doesn't come off as well onscreen as it does in real life. I'll try to get it perfected soon. 




Mucho love to Kristina & Nathalie. Xx



Partying it up with Tali, my housemate in New York. 



Miss you guys!!
