I haven't forgotten to write, not really. We've just been soo busy here.
So, we have been here 2 mos. now. Language school has started in full swing. Yikes! I'm sure most of you know that Chinese is not the easiest of languages to learn. But I think Keith and I are doing pretty well. It's fun to be able to use it outside on the streets. We can only say a few words and a few sentences, but it's really exciting when people understand you. So, I'm trying to use it as much as possible, even if it is just one word.
We haven't done a whole bunch of sight-seeing. Really everything we see is new anyway. I think we've gotten pretty settled in so far. I know how to do all my grocery shopping, and things like that. It is more of an effort here to shop than at home in the states, but I'm learning my own ways to do it as efficiently as possible. Our fridge and cabinet space are really small, so trying to keep food in the house is a bit of a problem, but we're working on it. I'm think of getting a small deep freeze. I think that will really help out.
We get a "summer break" starting next week. It will be three weeks long. So, we're hoping to take the kids to see a few things. It's insanely hot here, so it's not really fun to go out walking during the day. But we'll see what we can. I'll try and put more pictures up on Flickr. I don't alway remember to bring my camera with me, but I'll try to do better.
Well, speaking of being busy...I guess I better go off and study, or clean, or take care of kids, or....
