Paul went to China, I got a postcard and mandarin lessons. The China project is on hold or stall when Paul left May 31-- the clothes were in the garage ready for movers, the shots were done, the cultural and lessons were ON! Go China.
Then comes the bad news-- talks have stalled , all work on hold.......disappointment follows as our "adventure" has now turned to dust (or smog in China, not really sure).
So I am like the fantasy book "There and back again", only I just get to live vicariously through Paul as he travels thought China (as we all read "the Hobbit" and lived through Bilbo Baggins).
Not really the new Plan is: Paul and I are going together his next trip over(whenever that may be) and then we will spend time traveling in China.
I have had about 6 going away parties here in California and now I need to have a return party (even though I haven't gone anywhere)!
Any ideas on how I should make my return to the west?
I guess we can serve Dim Sum....I will pick a date soon and if you are in the area hope to see you on my return , with humor and smiles Diane
