I made a new discovery today on the food front.

I was about to sit down for lunch when my girlfriend brought out something a little odd. Apart from looking like the pet poodle was playing a practical joke, I was assured it was a real vegetable. Needless to say I had a nibble on the wee brown treasure. Not the tastiest of creations, and apparently it was pickled (which only gave me more crude joke fodder).

When I was a kid I refused to eat brussel sprouts, I just wonder what my reaction would have been to these little nuggets had they appeared on my dinner plate.

Welcome to the blog.

Ive finally gotten off my ass and made the hard start of beginning. This blog is mostly going to focus on aspects of training, some insights into my life, and probably some moaning about China (it wouldnt be a real China blog without complaining about China, right?).

I'm going to try post at least once a week, and I've got some new stuff I'm trying at the moment with regards to training (martial arts and otherwise) so hopefully I can keep up with my wild and wacky ideas in the cyberworld, That way when I have children they will have something to laugh at their old man about.

Im located in Shanghai so I guess most of my stuff is gonna be Shanghai specific, but I'll try to branch out where I can. I hear the MMA scene in Beijing is getting bigger, and on a recent visa run to Hong Kong I saw quite a few adverts for MMA gyms there. II'll try find out more info on that and post it up.
