Shanghai... so good we did it twice!

The train ride to Shanghai was a breeze, the train itself was awesome and we slept most of the way there, getting in at around 7 am. Since China has no time zones...yes really it's all one huge time zone, there wasn't too much adjusting to do. We were greeted by rain, got a little bit lost...

Spiritual

Little Guy is so spiritual. I think it is really fascinating since he is deaf. When he first came to us, we took him to a temple and he was so serious in praying to all the Buddas. Since then, we have seen him pray to almost any statue. Our least fav is when he insists to bow down at all the...

Wuhan University and Mulan Mountain

Sept 8th Tuesday morning in Wuhan. I went to the super-market and made my first random friend. His name is Michael, and he latched on to me as soon as I walked in looking for breakfast. He helped me find a power strip for my computer, and seemed like a fairly friendly guy. He left and...

Still in no particular order...

Xinjiang tea dark but mild: I like. Cell phone service dropped frequently Despite a cell phone tower behind the hotel Zyear diverted me from, service dropped more than frequently. Repeat music: Boy, Gooli and Zyear like those three songs played over and over and over and...
