2. When saying good night means much more than just good night
I had no idea when I wrote this piece about a Chinese guy texting me good night every night for about two weeks that I’m not the only one who has received such messages and who has been wondering what that means. This post is the one that turns up most in google searches.

1. Pre-wedding photo shoot
Topping the list is not a written post, but a series of photos. We all love pictures, especially Chinese pre-wedding pics. Here are ours.
