me

Nearly four months ago I was tagged by Rob Campbell, scourge of the mundane. I am now beholden to reveal 5 things about myself that you, gentle reader didn't know about me. I've been so tardy I'm now doing this as penance really, to publicially acknowledge I fail in two key blogging areas; prompt posting and community spirit. Sorry Rob, I'm a crap blogger, but with all apologies, this is the reply that has been sitting in my drafts section since last year:


My fascination with Asia started with trips to London's China Town, and in particular the Chinese Opera masks sold there as souvenirs. I think I was the only 7 year old in my town with a decent collection of major Chinese Opera characters' masks. Sadly this didn't win me the social aclaim I might have hoped for.


I ran a club night in San Francisco, years and years ago. I've just found one of our old flyers.


I can't ride a bike or drive a car. I'm fairly good at walking and hailing cabs though.


I have a bit of a fixation with the Japanese miniature food sets. They are sold in toy and department stores and I always buy a couple when I'm in Japan. This is a picture of a tonkasu meal, just the size of a box of matches. I am fascinated by this. Endlessly.


And finally, I've recently left my job to start my own company up. I will be droning on about this more.

I'm now sure you would have preferred this to have remained in the drafts folders, but there you go...

Better late than never eh! :)

Hello, I loved this 'reveal' of yourself, but then you're a bloody interesting person so I wouldn't expect anything less.

Please write and tell me all your news [I have some for you too] and I hope we can catch up soon.

Yo Sarah,
Was doing a search on Chinese masks pictures and had lead me to your blog. Its really small world after all, as the song goes along. You've got a interesting blog here.

All the very best in your new start up and please pick my brain when necessary.

We miss you heaps in Beijing!
Seeya soon love.
