Tracie Fong 

I am a graphic designer who loves all things crafty. I am a girl who loves design, crafts and decorating! I currently spend all of my time either doing design work or playing with my little dog named Poly! Ever since I was a young girl I have always dreamed of my perfect wedding (as all girls do). In reality, weddings do not always come out exactly the way the bride wishes it to be. My goal is to share fun and cute wedding ideas that I used in my wedding or ideas that I wish I could have created for my wedding. I wish for all brides to have fun with their wedding planning and to be able to customize their wedding with all the little fun details that will make their wedding dreams come true. Happy Planning!!!

Paul Klancnik

Being from the Netherlands and lived in China for almost 10 years as a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Paul has a story which goes on for a long time and hasn’t finished yet. Paul  left the Netherlands with his bag pack in 1989, containing the absolute necessary basics and returned 10 years later with his Chinese wife (pregnant with Xiamei, his oldest daughter) and a container full with beautiful Chinese furniture. Paul is in deep love with China, especially Beijing. He’s a real model showing that Love Never Fails.

Here below you can find something great from Paul -  a daily updated website that keeps people informed in time about what’s around regarding micro-organism.

Chen Qi-The World of Micro-Organism
A daily express on micro-organism issues. A worldwide search for fast and unbiased news.

 “It all started when my youngest daughter Qiuyao got severely infected with the Rota virus and almost died in a hospital in Beijing. No one knew what to do or what was wrong with her and only after 7 horrifying days she was out of a life threatening danger. After many days sitting next to her bed, holding her while life slipped out of her tiny 1,5 year young body, she finally fought her way back to the living. This all happened during Chinese New Year 2006.

After this, I decided to show my gratitude by updating daily this website to let people know in time what is around regarding micro-organism.”  

Zhang Wei

From Northeast China, crazy for deserts, Wei likes to know other people’s stories so she spends most of the time on movies, books and traveling around.

Philie Van Der Linden

Phil is originally from Netherlands, currently living in Alicante Spain with her husband Ton and their son and daughter. Phil and Ton are both fun, warm, nice and hardworking people. She’s a caring wife, a supportive mother, and a dear friend. Her favorite quote is “Reach for the moon, even if you miss it you will fall among the stars.” I love her coz she’s more progressive, active, always open to new things, and, very stylish :)

Arthur Dicker

Art is originally from the often misunderstood heart and soul of the U.S., the beautiful state of New Jersey.  He moved to China from New York three years ago to work at an American law firm’s Beijing office and has loved every minute of his second time around in China.  Despite the picture attached here, Art is not (yet) losing his hair and has actually been known to be quite unapologetic about his good looks and charming demeanor.  In his spare time, Art likes to read about history and politics, follow new musical artists from the Italo Disco mold, and recently has become an avid snowboarding fan.

Bianca, another sassy Taiwanese gal currently living in Beijing, worked for Vogue Taiwan for 6 memorable years of her life. Bianca is currently working for the new media department of a very well-known Chinese fashion magazine. She’s known as someone who’s always open to new things.
