I have recently submitted a part of the book I have been working on about to China to a couple of online travel magazines for publication. I am very happy to announce that one of them has already uploaded the story, and it can be found by accessing the link you see below.

10 Days to the wedding...
The last month has been nothing but a wierd mix of chaos. Wedding planning, an urgent trip to germany, etc...
We are all set on this journey, which for me begins on Monday, with the arrival of my best man, William Bryan, and Tiny, both arriving in different countries at the same time. Best Man Billy will arrive in Hamburg and Tiny in Amsterdam. I will more than likely pick up Billy and then drive down to Amsterdam and meet up with Tiny. Then the next days will bring other important people into the picture as I begin the journey from my 35 years of single living to a married man.
The transisition is an important part for me as I have been ready to shed the bachelor image that I have built internally and progress into the man that I have always wanted to be for the right person.
Lili is that right person, without any shadow of any doubt. We have been through a tremendous amount in our short two years together and have remained committed to one another for the entire time. We have lived in China, America and Germany together and gone through some really wonderful and difficult times in each place, but it has only made us that much stronger.
Love is a curious thing. I have learned more from this relationship than from any other because of the amount of involvement that it takes, being such an international couple. It really takes dedication and understanding to make it work on both sides and I am amazed that we have come as far as we have, learning more about life and ourselves the whole way. From the time that Lili and I met one another, I had a feeling that she is really special and for that one chance encounter to develop into this, its nothing shy of amazing.
This week is a welcomed transition and for those of you that are going to make it, thank you so much for taking the time out of your lives to share this moment with us. It really shows that I have some friends which really will do whatever is asked of them and I don't think there are many people like that for any of us. Read more!
