After the Fall!

This is what I looked like a few days after I crashed head long into the sidewalk; definitely NOT a pretty sight.  Here I am picking out material for a skirt.

Traffic in China

China has begun a love affair with cars!  The middle class are able to buy cars and they have been purchasing cars in large numbers.  It causes HUGE traffic jams in the big cities.  And, they are CRAZY drivers.  Every Sunday was a scary day for me taking a taxi to church!

Noodles, Anyone?

The Chinese love all kinds and varieties of noodles; this is the selection at the Trust*Mart, which is owned by Wal*Mart.  It was the closest grocery store to our home and it took about 3 hours to go there and back.  A 15 minute walk to the bus-stop, a wait for the bus, then a 15 minute ride to the store, shopping, then reverse.  But, when we went shopping here, I always had to go to the McDonald's or the KFC just down the street.  I needed a fix of American food!
