California Dreamin'
On a sunny day like today, I can't believe how blessed I am to live here. Even on rainy days, I usually feel pretty blessed. There aren't too many places on this planet that are more beautiful than this, or more filled with things to do. We can surf one day, and the next morning drive to Yosemite to go snowshoeing with friends. But I can't help envying one of our friends (really more my husband's friend), whose life somehow always seems more exciting: moving from one country to another, living in China and eating bugs, jumping out of planes on a regular basis... They spent New Year's in Hong Kong, went on safari in Africa over summer holidays, and those are just the trips I know about. I've been obsessed with buying a house, but today I wondered, What if we didn't? What if we just took the money and ran (traveled the world)?

hi joann! it's christine! you're right that we all have a lot to be thankful for! sometimes, i think running and traveling all the time would be the ultimate. but i think it's one of those 'grass is always greener' things. at some point, i think i'd tire of moving around and miss never getting to plant real roots. you get to do it in one of the best places on earth!
hi joann! i have a food tip: somebody who lives in sunnyvale says there is a xiao long bao restaurant already in cupertino village.
