I started this wellness blog one year ago, and I wanted to thank all of my readers for its success! It’s been far more of a hit than I ever thought it would be, considering how small our expat community really is. Here are some interesting stats:

• 23,861 visits came from 139 countries
• More than 50% are out of China (US > Canada > UK > Hong Kong > Australia > India)
• Hundreds of daily email/RSS feed subscribers
• China visits came from 173 cities (!)

Plus I’ve had a lot of fun with the local press:

• Live radio interview next Tuesday, 8pm on Beijing Radio’s Foreigners’ Life in Beijing program. It airs live on 774 AM. Website:  www.netfm.com.cn.
• Newspaper interview in the national Global Times, to be published next week
• Regular contributor to BeijingKids magazine
• Radio interview on CRI radio Expat Tales show
• Television interview on BON TV discussing air pollution
• Article in CityWeekend Parents & Kids discussing air pollution
• Interview in Agenda magazine
• Article in China Daily discussing air pollution
• Magazine Interview in CityWeekend Beijing
• Radio interview on Radio Beijing’s City Rhythm show
