Congratulations to Abi.....She received an acceptance letter from University of Portland today!!! Now she has two options... Western Washington University or UP.....hmmmm...

Chris and Emily returned from Beijing this morning. Tim met them at the train station and took them for a traditional American breakfast at McDonald's. I think they ate their quota of Chinese food in Beijing. Tonight we will eat Italian at the top of the JinMao tower. This will top off a day of bargain shopping and massage.....ahhhh...only in China!

Next week we are off to Malaysia for holiday....yes...it is Chinese New Year and Abi and Tim are on vacation. We will stay one week...return to Shanghai on Saturday afternoon and Sunday I am on a plane to Portland to be with my parents for a week. To bad life is so boring! Not!
