I know some of you are not on Facebook or don't check it regularly (or at all) so here is the day to day comments since we left Houston. This is just to get you up-to-date. No point in typing it out again when I can just cut and paste. ;-) I'll be writing a First Impressions article soon.
April 5, 2010 - Happy Easter Everyone! Just had lunch with the British fam in Wales. This keyboard is different than US ones...damn Brits have to make everything more difficult. :-P Head to Holland tomorrow. Hope to have more consistent internet. xoxo
April 6th - Arrived in Holland. Went to the beach for some fritas and mayo. P is working tomorrow and we have a playdate in Wassenaar. Happy to have internet access in the hotel - even if it is terribly slow. ;-)
April 7th - Had a wonderful day in Holland, lovely weather, fantastic company, yummy satay for dinner. Tomorrow is THE day...am I ready? Hell, that doesn't matter at this point. :-P
April 7th - Waiting in Schipohl for our flight to Beijing...relieved the wait is almost over, excited to see how it all compares to my imagination and nervous it won't live up to my imagination. I'll let you know as soon as I can bypass the Great Firewall of China. xoxo
April 8th -Arrived in Beijing 12 hours ago...taken this long to battle the Great Firewall of China. Enjoying my small victory of finding Facebook Lite through some vtunnel but the war has not been won. Too tired to fight...going to bed. xoxo
April 9th - Is stilling using Facebook Lite which only allows me to post comments so no Mafia Wars :-(
Took Fiona to her school for a tour and to buy uniforms. Also opened a bank account - P and I have to have separate accounts since there are no joint accounts. (What's the symbol for "how odd"?) Hope to write a blog entry soon ...but too busy running around. xoxo
April 10th - Has broken through the Great Firewall of China. Mao is no match for my obsession with Mafia Wars. Oh...and I also wanted to see what my friends were up to. ;-)
April 10th - Had a wonderful day in Beijing today...our 1st good day since we arrived on Thursday. Sunny, blue skies, looked at apartments, found one we really like so keep your fingers crossed, got Facebook to work so playing a bit of MW, took girls to Chaoyang Park to the best amusement park EVER, delicious dinner in a fun new area...could go on but I need to write that darn blog entry. Tomorrow, I promise.
April 11th - If yesterday was 'wonderful', then today was Fantastic! Found an apartment/location 20 times better than the one yesterday. Suddenly I am very excited about our time in Beijing. We are going to have a wonderful time biking/walking around our new neighborhood. Check out the website to see where we are moving in a week. Fiona starts school tomorrow so I'll update you tomorrow. xoxo
this is going to be an adventure for all of us. Keep the news coming. How does Patrick like the new job?
