Chengdu Letters

I am a teacher, a bicyclist, a martial artist, a cook. I am a lapsed filmmaker, an amateur photographer, and a sloppy linguist. My husband is a gifted healer and acupuncturist. Together, we are spending a year or more in Chengdu, China, as I teach applied linguistics at Sichuan University, and he furthers his studies in herbs and tui na massage. This site is not a travel guide for the curious or a how-to supplement for your Lonely Planet pocket pal. This is a place where I can wrap my words around the things we live, and where strangers and friends can put their ears to the ground for vibrations sent from the other side of the world.
