Welcome!

You have officially entered, what will prove to be, THE most entertaining blog on the internet!

My name is Chris Uhl, and the details of my life are quite inconsequential. My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy–the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we’d make meat helmets. Ah, but enough about my childhood...

I will spend the next few months of my life in Beijing, China, working as a sous chef at the Olympic Village and I thought I would document some of the more interesting things that happen to me along the way.

I know that work will consume most of my time, but if I am so lucky as to have a day off or so, I want to take full advantage of this trip and see and do as much as I can.

And for those of you who are interested in reading about the things I do, the people I meet, and (most importantly) the things I eat, then this blog is for you!

So sit back, and enjoy the ride...
