I had caught a head cold a week after moving to our apartment and now John has a cold. More in his chest. I guess this is to be expected since we are being exposed to a whole new set of viruses!

Life is wonderful and strange at the same time! Here we are in a world so different from the one we left and yet it is so familiar. The people are not different. They just do things differently. We all eat and sleep, work and play but not the same way. For example, sleeping. I really enjoyed our Sleep Number bed. We both could pick our choice of hard or soft or inbetween. Here the beds are just hard. The beds have a piece of wood with a very thin layer of quilt. That's it! Sitting on a bed makes a thud sound. We had to sleep on one in the Hotels we have stayed in both in Hong Kong and in mainland. If we had not been so exhausted from our travels we could not have even closed our eyes. Thankfully, since moving into our apartment, we have secured a bed that is comfortable. It looks nice, too. White iron scroll like and high off the ground. That gave us room underneath to store our 4 big suitcases and made it easier for us to get in and out of it. So many of the beds we saw were a foot off the floor! So now I really look forward to climbing in bed! When I get my camera I'll take a picture. Right now, I really need to change the curtains in the room. They are gold, the walls are yellow and the sun rises on the side of our bedroom. It is like the sun is IN our bedroom each morning! I am on the hunt for thicker curtains. Well, so much for sleeping. Maybe next time I'll tell you about the food here. It is something to see. All the strange looking stuff they sell on the street and in the stores!

I teach the 5 yr old English. She has a cute little lisp which makes it a challenge to pronounce some English sounds. Peeper? What happens when it starts to quack? Quackers? Love you, too.
