Chill Factor

In a surprise twist of events, the South of China has finally cooled off!
Evening jacket weather is upon us, and the foreigners are all reveling as the locals bundle up in their winter's warmest.
Glad times are here again.

Though I have to admit that my body became quite accustomed to the warm weather and when I returned to the states, was really uncomfortable in what is usually cool, normal, fall weather.

I've realized that my body got very used to two things out here so far: the heat, and spicy food. Personally, the heat thing kind of sucks a bit, but I'm really down with my new tolerance for spicy food. I've always enjoyed a good kick in food, but was never one of those twisted spice-thrill seekers who lived for the tears that followed a particularly spicy pepper or curry. I am far from those nutjobs, but feel as if I'm slowly beginning to lean on their side. I don't necessarily do it for the thrill, and a few expats speak of their time with spicy food as a way to sweat out the 'night before', but it's become commonplace to expect a good bit of heat with any meal.

Business Updates: We're looking to expand our client base and are in negotiations for an assessment with a Spanish-run company operating out here. Pretty neat.
We also have a new office, though it's not a permanent one, it's nice that we finally have conference space, a phonebank, and a person that answers calls by saying our company name.
