1. Just because the brochure states the tour guide speaks English, doesn’t really guarantee that you will, in any way, be able to understand what he is saying. These are the five words I was able to salvage from the day; Buddha, temple, pagoda, dragon and phoenix.
2. While the road may look like your normal, run-of-the-mill, two-lane highway, in China it is more like four…maybe even closer to five. Of course, if you factor in the occasional scooter or bicycle weaving their way through traffic, the possibilities are endless.
3. The Koi in Hangzhou look eerily similar to the Koi in Suzhou.
4. Holding someone’s baby with a bare bottom NEVER gets any easier!
5. The price of tea in China is outrageous! Forty-five USD for 250 grams of Green Tea! I must have had a stamp somewhere on my forehead that I forgot about!
6. Riding in a bus all day that was built for tiny people can be difficult. C’mon, we all know where Yao Ming came from!
7. A day shared with someone you love, is a good day indeed.

Maybe you have been in China so long you have forgotten what English sounds like. The guide may have been speaking in clear as day English yet your chinese filters that cover your ears were screwed on too tight.
Just a thought
hey Dana!

ps. kaleb says we're going to build a little storybook cottage on the land....

us (your favorite sister and brother in law) :)
Trent - I am pretty sure that I still remember what English sounds like! Thanks a lot!
Whit - My favorite is the Gretel cottage. I could move right in!
We are doing well and definitely enjoying the cooler temps. Rumor has it that a cold front is coming through on Thursday. Time to get out the sweaters, mittens and scarves!
Miss you!
Hey what's this about favorite brother and sister-in laws? I think Whitney is on crack. Did she go to China to hang out with you guys?
I am saddened by the use of the word crack.
I'm sure no else is BEHIND you on that one.
Trent-pringles in your bed-honestly. Can Quincy hear this?
Seriously, you guys crack me up! :)
Whitney is on crack, the pringles in Trents bed are cracked, and this all cracks up dana.
But we know that Dana's favorites are Kami and Krack - I mean Krack a Lackin Jack.
