Steamy Night

The mildly famous 'top of the hill.' When I arrived in Dalian it was still winter, but as spring crept up the tiny restaurants set up their chuanr (like grilled kebabs) stands, all in a row. At night, in the chilly air, you could see the smoke from the chuanr as you walked up the Dawai hill, as crowds of people huddled for warmth around the coals.

I left home at 18 to work my way -- literally -- around the world. I've lived and worked in Singapore, Paris, Italy, and China (twice) and have covered two Olympics (so far).
