 I’ve got a new travel guide and it’s providing me with a uniquely Irish perspective on China.

My Aunt Enda lives in a small village called Rathdrum on the east coast of Ireland in County Wicklow.

She’ s a loyal reader of Deirdre’s Diary.  Truthfully, she’s kind of a online stalker.  Not in a NBC Dateline Chris Hansen kind of a way.  More like a “let’s tell everyone in the Rathdrum pubs about my niece’s blog” kind of way.

In fact, I credit Enda for the global success of my blog.  So does she.

Check out what Enda sent me for my birthday.

 It was the perfect birthday present.
