First off I apologize for not posting in over a week. We were out of town in combination with some computer issues. We made it home after a four day trip in which I had my worst China moment and first tears since moving here. It was all because of a bad hotel situation and the lack of customer service--a concept not yet known here--that left us all completely frustrated. We got it all worked out and life went on. I was fully reminded why we didn't want to live in the capital city (way too many cars and people) but also reminded why occasional trips there are a must (buy food and house hold things we can't get here). We also ate McDonald's twice (I hardly ever ate it in the States) and Pizza Hut once (our pepperoni pizza tasted just like in the US--and was Kirby's first taste of real pizza thanks to growing out of his milk allergy--but they had a few additional menu items including roasted octopus). We are now also having laptop issues and occasional desktop issues. Stan is pretty mad cause he was convinced Macs--which both of our computers are--aren't supposed to have problems. I think the desktop is just not fond of the cold. Now that it's in the new office area it's right beside the window. It only has issues in the morning and evening when the temperature is low. So we will see how it goes. Well this has certainly turned into a ramble. I'm hopefully back on track now.
16 days till Christmas! We have our tree and other decorations put up and are planning a few parties, both with other Americans and locals. Very exciting!
