Observations, Updates, Etc.

So I haven't been writing much, mostly pictures for two reasons:
1) I am super tired and when the kids finally sit down, I am half asleep!
2) When you log on in China it changes all of your buttons to Chinese. So, I had no idea how to log in , and will just hope that the button I click on actually posts this! Better make a copy before I start clicking just in case.
About Living in China:
*Chinese Hospital
-You have to get a residency medical exam from the Chinese government
- When you ask what they are looking for (to those that speak English) you will only get an " I have no idea".
*Your daughter will be convinced that your driver is in the Newspaper and also the President of China.
*You will realize you are grossly overpaying for kid shoes
*You will be amused that most grass is not be walked on and if it is, you are NOT to fly a kite
*You and kids can spend hours watching the police blow their whistles and chase off lawbreaking kite flyer's
*You love having a maid , that didn't take flying around the world to figure out
*When you are looking for directions to a mom's coffee, this will be what is given to you:
After entering lane 550, walk about 50 meters down the lane and past
the streetside veggie market and the lady with the fish in the
styrofoam box until you see a black gate and an alley with cafes,
restaurants, and boutiques. Say "g'morn" to the talking black bird on
the left and come into the bright airy cafe on the right under the sign
'Melange Oasis'
*You will think seriously about writing a letter to the president of Papa Johns and profusely thanking him for bringing his pizza to China and making it taste the same
*Cheetos do not taste like Cheetos, rather chili, or that' s my best description
* A bag of chocolate chips costs 10$, luckily I brought a few. Oh and sunblock is 27$.
* You will miss Netflix, alot
*Not having Netflix or TV really will cause a lot of family time
*You will find yourself watching really old C movies in English , and being thankful
*You will realize that Americans keep their kids very close to them. Example: Today I watched a fellow expat mom get up and use the restroom in a crowded restaurant. She simply got up and left her approximate two year old with the waitress, who proceeded to parade the cute western child around the restaurant to show her off.
*You will ponder the idea of learning how to make your own cliff bars, perhaps selling them and making millions. Ok at least a few bucks. I just read that the delivery western cupcake baker has her Harvard MBA, she's gotta be smart right!
*You will decide your bedtime is at 5:30. Goodnight.
