Really special experience being able to visit the church (Holy Trinity Shanghai) where my grandfather and great grandparents lived and worked in Shanghai nearly 100 years ago - thanks so much to @HistoricSH for organising!

First tasting menu in Taiwan - delicious, but I will make a millionaire of whoever invents a dignified way of eating crab.

@feedthedrummer So far in taipei every time it rains (every day) people wryly tell me I must be used to it and I say no, we don’t get typhoons back home

First day studying at the ICLP in Taipei!

[Julian Sutcliffe @juliansutcliffe]

Heading off on the biggest adventure of my life - 9 months in Taipei to finish my Mandarin training, followed by a posting in Beijing at the British Embassy! Excited and terrified in equal measure but I know it’s going to be unforgettable.

The best Chinese homework is always the practical stuff - gongbao chicken (宫保鸡丁）and fish fragrant aubergines （鱼香茄子) for a Sichuan food night

[Julian Sutcliffe @juliansutcliffe]
